Manchester United achieved an important result in this UEFA Champions League season. The English team was risking their lives in a certainly important match in which a defeat could have meant the elimination of the Old Trafford team. However, two unexpected heroes came out for this match. Harry Maguire and Andre Onana were the two players who saved the team and helped them achieve the 3 points.

 

Old Trafford surrendered for a day to Harry Maguire. Yes, the defender who has been enduring the anger of the fans for his mistakes for months gave with his goal against FC Copenhagen (1-0) three vital points for Manchester United's continuity in the Champions League, which had started the group with two defeats. The team came into this match needing a victory, however, things did not end up going for the club against a complex Danish team.

Maguire scored but as much or more decisive was André Onana when he saved a penalty, with time already expired, from Jordan Larsson, son of the legendary Henrik Larsson, former United and FC Barcelona player, among others. After the game, euphoria was unleashed in the English team's stadium, and they managed to beat the rival who had the least chance of leaving the group alive. Andre Onana was vital for Manchester United to do their job in this game.

 

Ten Hag's words about Andre Onana

After the Cameroonian has been one of the most criticized footballers at the start of the season, the player managed to position himself correctly and was vital in this game. “He showed personality. He knows that he didn't match his abilities and that he could do better. On Saturday he had a very good performance and today too, don't forget that brilliant save in the second half. He is a very good penalty saver." A long-suffering victory at an Old Trafford that before the match paid an emotional tribute to the legendary Sir Bobby Charlton, who died on Saturday.
