Andre Onana has promised Manchester United fans that better days lie ahead after a difficult first half of the season.
United crashed out of the Champions League against Bayern Munich, but they responded to that disappointment by delivering a gutsy and spirited performance to draw with Liverpool on Sunday. Onana became the first goalkeeper in the Premier League to keep a clean sheet at Anfield this season and although his distribution was sketchy, he made eight saves and denied Liverpool a goal.
The 'keeper spoke to MUTV after the draw and spoke about the importance of improving after a poor first half of the campaign. "It feels good [to keep a clean sheet], but we're Manchester United, one of the biggest clubs in the world, and against every opponent we play, we want to win. Today we got one point and we fought together," Onana said.

"We showed character and personality, but that's not enough and we have to try to win the game, which unfortunately we didn't do. We have to push the standard higher and look to win when we play.
"The most important thing is three points and when you come to Anfield, it would be great to return home with the win. But like I said, a clean sheet is good and it was a tough game.
"But you must win being part of this club and we had some chances we could score. So now head up and get ready for the coming games. We have to look forward because we have to do much more. I'm used to playing big games with high intensity, so that [atmosphere] wasn't a problem here."
Onana said he was convinced better days were just around the corner for United after seeing the team's levels in training.
