EINDHOVEN, Netherlands (AP): Manchester United squandered a lead to lose 2-1 at PSV Eindhoven and had left back Luke Shaw carried off with a broken right leg on an unhappy return to the Champions League yesterday. Shaw required oxygen while he was taken off on a stretcher after being hurt by a two-footed tackle from Hector Moreno in PSV's area in the 15th minute. Images showed Shaw's right foot was bent at a 45-degree angle and United said after the match that Shaw "suffered a double fracture of the leg." "It is awful," United manager Louis van Gaal said. "When he came into the dressing room, he had an oxygen mask and was crying." Memphis Depay, signed from PSV this summer, gave United the lead in the 41st minute of the Group B match by dribbling between two defenders and shooting through the goalkeeper's legs. Moreno equalised in the lengthy period of first-half stoppage time - caused by his challenge on Shaw - with a header that deflected in off United defender Daley Blind. Luciano Narsingh's 57th-minute goal secured victory for the Dutch champions, who were the top seeds in the group but arguably the weakest team out of United, Wolfsburg and CSKA Moscow.
