Luke Shaw sends classy tweet to Kurt Zouma after horror injury

Brothers in arms

Luke Shaw knows exactly how Kurt Zouma is feeling right now.

The left-back suffered a double leg fracture back in September in a challenge with PSV defender Hector Moreno during Manchester United’s Champions League defeat in Holland.

Shaw is on the mend but unlikely to play again this season, and Zouma also looks like he could be facing an extended spell on the sidelines.

The Chelsea defender landed awkwardly during his side’s 1-1 draw with United on Sunday, appearing to hyper-extend his knee.

Zouma will undergo a scan tomorrow, and hopefully it isn’t as bad as it looked.

The match had just ended when Shaw tweeted his best wishes to the 21-year-old.

It was a small but respectful show of support from the United man, who knows the pain and anxiety Zouma must be feeling right now.
