Maguire and Onana star as Man. United earn three crucial points in the Champions League.

Manchester United will now need atleast two wins in the next two champions league ties to have any chance to make it to the last 16 after a dramatic win aginst FC Copenhagen thanks to trolled Harry Maguire and Andre Onana.

Harry Maguire maintained his positive mini-run by scoring what proved to be the only goal. Maguire has now started and played well in United’s past three games; each of them wins, the first two coming in the Premier League against Brentford and Sheffield United.

The showstopper was André Onana, who started nervously only to grow, making a key save in the 50th minute to deny Lukas Lerager. It had nothing on what he did at the last. Copenhagen had thrown forward their goalkeeper, Kamil Grabara, previously of Liverpool, for a corner in the fourth and final minute of stoppage-time and he caused a problem for United.

The Copenhagen substitute Oscar Højlund – younger brother of the United striker Rasmus worked the ball towards the far post, a little scruffily, and there was Mohamed Elyounoussi, stooping to finish. But there, too, was Scott McTominay. He raised his boot high to concede a penalty.

The taker was another substitute, Jordan Larsson, son of Henrik, who once played for United during his glittering career.

Onana threw up a strong right hand to parry away the ball and win crucial three points . United face Copenhagen in the return leg at Old trafford and travel away to Galatasary before finishing the group stages against Bayern Munich.
