Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata has urged teammate Luke Shaw to "think positive" after he broke his leg in two places during Tuesday night's Champions League defeat to PSV Eindhoven.
The England international was stretchered off after Hector Moreno's tackle left him with a double fracture in his leg.
In addition to losing Shaw, the Red Devils also suffered a 2-1 defeat in their Group B clash in Holland.
After the game, Mata posted a picture of Shaw from happier times, with the message: "I'm very gutted for this man... That's the @lukeshaw23 i know. You are always smiling, my friend. Keep doing that, be strong and think positive.
"We all want you to come back soon, we will miss you for some time, but we will still enjoy in this season with your football, Luke."
Shaw, who underwent surgery in Eindhoven last night, is expected to be on the sidelines for at least six months.
