Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has confirmed that Luke Shaw is ‘very close’ for a return to first team action.
The England international had been sidelined with a long term injury after suffering a double leg break in the UEFA Champions League group stage clash against PSV Eindhoven back in September. Shaw returned to training this week and Van Gaal has hinted that the left back could yet feature for the club before the season has ended.
“He is not in the team, he is training on the pitch and on the grass,” said Van Gaal.
