Luke Shaw Injury Prompts Louis van Gaal Criticism of Hector Moreno Tackle

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has criticised PSV Eindhoven defender Hector Moreno after Luke Shaw was left with a double fracture of his right leg following one of his tackles.

The England international was given oxygen and stretchered off during the Red Devils’ 2-1 loss in the Champions League at the Philips Stadion after a robust challenge from Moreno. And Van Gaal was unhappy with the style in which the defender won the ball.

“It was a very bad tackle with two legs,” said the Dutchman afterwards, who used to manage the Mexican during his stint at AZ Alkmaar, per Joe Bernstein, David Wood and Ben Grounds of the MailOnline.
