Shaw recovery going well - Van Gaal

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has voiced his satisfaction with the progress Luke Shaw has made as he continues his recovery from a fractured leg.

The England international, 20, sustained the injury in his side's 2-1 Champions League defeat at the hands of PSV on September 15 and has since been working on his recovery.

"Luke is progressing well and is doing as well as we could have hoped at this stage," Van Gaal told the official United matchday programme. 

"We are not putting any timings on his recovery or a return, as it is important we allow nature to take its course. 

"Luke is working hard during his recuperation to keep his body in the best possible condition.

"He is receiving plenty of messages of encouragement from supporters, which I know he appreciates."
