Luke Shaw may be sidelined for the foreseeable future following his leg break earlier this season, but the defender will be in Germany cheering on his Manchester United team-mates on Tuesday night.

The England international suffered a broken leg during United’s 2-1 defeat by Eredivisie holders PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands in their opening Champions League group-stage game.

Shaw isn’t expected to return to the United side until next season following his horror injury, but the United left-back is still supporting his team-mates.

And the former Southampton left-back was snapped on United’s flight to Wolfsburg ahead of their crunch Champions League game in Germany.
