United's struggle for form has been occasioned by injuries to key players, with the Old Trafford dwellers currently having several players on the treatment table.

According to talkSPORT, the EPL giants have as many as 10 key players injured after the trio of Andre Onana, Christian Eriksen, and Rasmus Hojlund added to the growing list during the international break.

Hojlund is battling a muscle strain, per Manchester Evening News, that could keep him out for at least three weeks, while Onana is fighting an unspecified problem.

Eriksen, meanwhile, is set for a month on the sidelines after sustaining a knee injury during the 1-0 win over Luton.

Which other Man United players are injured?

Casemiro, Jonny Evans, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are among the other players who are unavailable for selection.

Casemiro has a thigh injury picked up during their Carabao Cup meeting with Newcastle, while Wan-Bissaka is ill, and will be out for at least two weeks.

Amad Diallo, Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez, and Luke Shaw are all long-term absentees.

The absence of the 10 players comes at a time when United are looking to sustain some level of momentum.

ten Hag's charges are scheduled to face Everton on Sunday, November 26, in the Premier League.

What Guardiola said about Onana

Sports Brief earlier reported that Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola once voiced his admiration for Cameroon and Manchester United goalkeeper, Andre Onana, appreciating how good he is.

The Cameroon international has been in the news for the wrong reasons recently, as he continues to struggle between the sticks for Manchester United.

Onana finished that season as one of the best goalkeepers in the Champions League, alongside the likes of Ederson and Real Madrid's Thibaut Courtois.
