Louis van Gaal: 'Luke Shaw very positive about rehabilitation process'

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal says that Luke Shaw is feeling "very positive" as he begins the rehabilitation process on his broken leg.

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has confirmed that injured left-back Luke Shaw has begun the rehabilitation process on his broken leg.

The England international is expected to be sidelined for at least six months after suffering a double fracture during the team's Champions League match against PSV Eindhoven earlier this month.

After undergoing two operations in Holland, Shaw has returned to the North-West of England to begin recovery.

"He was very positive [when I spoke to him last night], which is amazing for me," Van Gaal told MUTV. "It's a very good signal. We have started rehabilitation. He shall be visited at home for the first electro muscle stimulants."

With Shaw out of action, Van Gaal faces a dilemma over team selection for Saturday's match against Sunderland as defenders Marcos Rojo and Paddy McNair are also absent due to injuries.
