Moreno made 'brilliant challenge' on Shaw - Keane

Hector Moreno's leg-breaking tackle on Luke Shaw was a “brilliant challenge,” according to ex-Manchester United captain Roy Keane.

 Shaw, 20, suffered a double fracture of his right leg in the clash with PSV Eindhoven defender Moreno during United’s 2-1 Champions League defeat on Tuesday.

 The England international is expected to be out for a long spell following an operation in the Netherlands, but Keane believes Moreno made a genuine attempt to win the ball.

“I thought it was a brilliant challenge,' Keane told ITV Sport. “I love the physical side of the game.

“You can always tell by player reactions and none of the United lads at the time - and players are best judges because they are nearest the tackle - didn't react over the top thinking it was a bad challenge, obviously at the end of it.

“And when players are travelling that speed, defending like that, injuries are going to happen. I'm surprised there are not more like it. It was more of an accident at the end with his trailing foot.”
