Manchester United defender Luke Shaw has revealed he was close to needing an amputation after suffering a double leg break during a Champions League group stage match against PSV Eindhoven back in 2015.
The 23-year-old suffered the serious injury just 12 months into his career at Old Trafford, under a challenge from Mexico international defender Héctor Moreno at the Philips Stadion.
Although it has been known for some time how serious Shaw's injury was, with speculation at the time suggesting it could threaten his career, the defender has since opened up on how it was so severe that he was told the leg could have been amputated.
