Cocu: I Hope Man Utd Fans Don’t Boo Moreno

The Mexican defender is expected to be targeted by the home fans after he injured Luke Shaw in their last encounter but the PSV coach hopes that is not the case

PSV coach Philip Cocu is hopeful Manchester United supporters will be forgiving of Hector Moreno, who inflicted a broken leg on Luke Shaw in September.

Cocu’s PSV make the trip to Manchester for their Champions League Group B clash at Old Trafford on Wednesday, with United full-back Shaw a notable absentee.

Shaw suffered a horrific double fracture in his right leg following a robust challenge from Moreno in the 2-1 reverse loss in Eindhoven two months ago.

Moreno and Cocu visited Shaw in hospital after the incident and the travelling PSV fans will unveil a “get well soon” banner for the England international at the stadium.

Speaking ahead of the game, Cocu was asked if he thought Moreno would be targeted by United fans and the Dutchman replied: “I hope not.

“It was a very bad injury. Hopefully Luke Shaw will get back soon.

“He is a fantastic player. The most important thing will be that he is back on his feet shortly, joining the team and playing for Manchester United, but we don’t know what will happen tomorrow in the game.”

United top the group on seven points from four matches, one clear of PSV and Wolfsburg.

Following his leg break in the defeat to PSV, Manchester United have confirmed that the left back will remain in hospital for observation

Manchester United have confirmed that Luke Shaw will stay in hospital in Eindhoven to begin his recovery after undergoing surgery on a broken leg.

The England full-back was stretchered off in the first half of United’s 2-1 Champions League defeat to PSV on Tuesday following a challenge from Hector Moreno.

It was later confirmed that Shaw had suffered a double leg fracture and the former Southampton man underwent surgery later on after being taken to hospital.

United have since released an update on the 20-year-old’s condition and paid tribute to the care he is receiving in the Netherlands.

“Luke Shaw underwent surgery on his injury on Tuesday night and will remain in hospital in Eindhoven to continue his early recovery,” a statement released by the club on Wednesday said.

“Manchester United are grateful for the excellent care he is receiving and would like to thank everyone who has sent messages of support.”

Moreno apologised for the challenge after the match, insisting the unfortunate contact with Shaw’s leg was entirely accidental.

PSV recovered from Memphis Depay’s goal on his return to Philips Stadion to secure a 2-1 win thanks to headers from Moreno and Luciano Narsingh.
