'We need our guys back' - Andre Onana says Manchester United are missing injured star

Andre Onana was delighted to see Rasmus Hojlund make his injury return for Manchester United in their goalless draw against Crystal Palace on Saturday night and can't wait for Luke Shaw to do the same.

The Danish forward featured from the bench as Erik ten Hag's side were held to a 0-0 draw at Selhurst Park, a result that leaves them bottom half in the Premier League.

Hojlund's return should help United to put away the type of big chances they have wasted so far this season, with United still clearly getting back up to speed after the staggered return of a number of players in the summer.

United also named Mason Mount on the bench against Palace, while both Victor Lindelof and Tyrell Malacia also returned to training last week after their respective injury lay-offs.

It means United are now close to having a fully fit squad again, with Leny Yoro and Shaw the only other notable absentees, and Onana can't wait to see the England full-back return seven months since his last appearance for the club.

Quizzed on the impact of Hojlund's return, Onana told Sky Sports: "He’s a key player for us and we are all happy because he’s coming back and (Tyrell) Malacia also came back yesterday, so it’s important to have everyone back and then the manager will make the choice and we’ll be happy with that. We’ll have to see this guy on the pitch, but I know he will score important goals for us. We need our guys back, we need Luke Shaw back. I’m happy to see him on the pitch."
