"One hundred per cent," Onana told MUTV when asked if the returns of the aforementioned duo were positive signs. "One hundred per cent. They are very important players for us and we are happy when we see them on the pitch.
"Hopefully we are all going to be together at Wembley on Saturday because we need everyone. We need all our players and we need our
