Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw has revealed he came close to losing his right leg after it was seriously broken in September 2015 and admitted he considered quitting football altogether, Skysports reports
Shaw has started four consecutive Premier League matches for United this season – something he had not achieved since his horrific leg-break suffered playing PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League three years ago.
He said, “I nearly lost my leg, I was actually really close to losing my leg and I never knew that until six months after when the doctor told me. Of course, if I knew that I would (still) never have stopped, even if he had told me there was a worry, I would have tried (to carry on playing football).”
