Manchester United defender Luke Shaw will have another operation on his shattered right leg in Holland.

Shaw was rushed to St Anna Ziekenhuis on the outskirts of Eindhoven on Tuesday night after breaking his lower in two places during United's 2-1 defeat to PSV in the Champions League.

Two orthopaedic surgeons and a trauma specialist conducted an operation on Shaw's leg and the young left-back was told to expect a short stay in Holland before being allowed home to continue his recovery.

However it is understood that Shaw will now have a second operation at the Dutch hospital.

United have made no comment and manager Louis van Gaal is expected to clarify the situation at his weekly press conference.

However it is understood that Shaw's condition continues to be deemed satisfactory given the severity of the injury.

The England defender - expected to miss the rest of the season - will remain in Eindhoven until United's medical staff are happy for him to come home.

When he does travel it may have to be by road as air travel - and the associated changes in air pressure - is not recommended after major surgery.

Despite a double leg fracture, former Coventry defender David Busst believes Shaw can return this season

Van Gaal was hopeful after the match, saying: 'I am not a doctor so I cannot say that, but when you have a double fracture it is I think until six months.

'It is about how it develops. You can never say that in advance.

'He will not play in the group phase I think. I hope he can play again this season.'
