Memphis Depay gave Louis van Gaal's side an early
lead against his former side but Luciano Narsingh's second-half header
secured three points for the Eredivisie champions
Luciano Narsingh grabbed the crucial goal in Tuesday's Group B opener at the Philips Stadion, compounding Louis van Gaal's misery sparked by Shaw's early exit.
The 20-year-old was on the receiving end of a thumping tackle from Hector Moreno in the 15th minute, subsequently receiving seven minutes of treatment before being withdrawn on a stretcher.
Former PSV star Memphis Depay lifted the sombre mood thereafter with a stunning solo goal against the club he joined United from in the close-season.
But Moreno, having somehow not been penalised after the Shaw incident, levelled on the stroke of half-time before Narsingh headed PSV into the lead after 57 minutes.
United continued to dominate proceedings thereafter, although clear-cut opportunities were few and far between as PSV defended resolutely.
And Phillip Cocu's men were rewarded for their endeavour as the visitors failed to grab an equaliser.
