CNN —Manchester United relied on two unlikely heroes – goalkeeper André Onana and defender Harry Maguire – in a much-needed Champions League victory against FC Copenhagen.
Onana's penalty save denied Copenhagen late in the game.
The Cameroonian international has made several errors since joining United this season, including in a Champions League defeat against Bayern Munich last month.
The penalty save went some way to atoning for those mishaps, and Onana was duly mobbed by his teammates immediately after his heroics.
“I’m very pleased, it was a narrow escape as we needed to win,” ten Hag told reporters after the match.
