Manchester United youngster Sean Goss has thanked teammate Luke Shaw for helping him in his recovery from a back injury.

The 21-year-old has finally recovered from his back problem, which he suffered in December, and is set to feature for the U23 squad in the league game against Tottenham Hotspur on Friday.

The young midfielder found company in Shaw during his recovery period as the left-back himself was recovering from a badly broken leg at the same time.

"My friends and family have been great as they've really kept my spirits up - you definitely question whether you'd be able to get through it without them," Goss told MUTV.

"In a similar way, the physios and staff have also been brilliant, everyone from Tom [Hughes], Jonny [Picot], Russ [Hayes], the doc Steve [McNally] and even Luke [Shaw], who was here with me when everyone was on holiday during pre-season, were all so good to me.

"Now I'm fully focused on returning for the Under-23s. We've have had a tough time so far in terms of numbers, but the lads are working really hard each day and we're still desperate to win the league.

"At a club like this you're lucky enough have more good times than bad and hopefully there will be more good times ahead."
