Man Utd Update: Luke Shaw discusses comeback

Luke Shaw discusses comeback
Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw has spoken to MUTV about his spell on the sidelines, with the long-term absentee admitting he would like to see the fans again this season.


Shaw made an excellent start to the campaign but cruelly lost all momentum when he suffered a double fracture of the leg during September’s UEFA Champions League defeat at PSV Eindhoven.

After many months in the gym and swimming pool, the 20-year-old returned to outdoor training on 4 April to work with a club physiotherapist and Louis van Gaal has been pleased with his progress.

While attending a Manchester United Foundation even at the Aon Training Complex on Thursday, Shaw caught up with MUTV's David Stowell and this is what he had to say about his potential return.

Luke, it's great to see you back in training and looking great...
"I am back outside now, still with the physio but, day by day, I am getting better and fitter. I am just going to keep pushing now until the end of the season and see what happens. At the moment, my leg feels really great every time I go outside. There was a bit of aching at the start but now they are all gone. It is just back to hard work now and hopefully I will see the fans before the end of the season."

When a player is injured it can be difficult to miss the dressing room banter, so it must be great for you to be back in that dressing room again?
"Yeah, of course. I have missed football so much. It was hard for me to watch it at times because I missed it so much and I just wanted to be out there. Now I am on my comeback and I can start enjoying watching it, because soon I will out on the pitch with the lads. It is great to be back in the changing room with them so I am really looking forward to it."

How have the medical staff been with you throughout your recovery?
"Yeah, excellent. Like I said, it has not been easy for them either because they have to sometimes deal with me being a little bit moody or what not, but we have all got through it really well. Massive thanks to them! I am not there yet, but we are going to keep pushing me. To all the staff, thank you for all they have done and what they have put with over the last seven months."
