What a good guy.
The football world rallied behind Luke Shaw on Tuesday evening when the United player suffered a horrific broken leg (video here) against PSV.
But, even whilst the England left back was rushed to hospital from the Champions League game, he managed to maintain a real touch of grace and class as he thanked both Southampton and the public for their well-wishes.
Firstly, Shaw sent a real humble thank you to his old club very early after he departed the stadium.
@SouthamptonFC thank you , you don't know how much you as a club mean to me , thank you so much I really appreciate it

And he then sent his heartfelt thanks to everyone who were so quick to get behind him. Even managing to put a touch of resilience and determination in there that United fans will love.
Thank you everyone for your messages , words can't describe how gutted I am , my road to recovery starts now, I will come back stronger.
