Man Utd 1:0 Copenhagen: Maguire and Onana Combine to Save United From UCL Elimination

• Harry Maguire was Manchester United's saviour in their 1-0 win over Copenhagen
• The England defender scored a second-half header to help United pick up three points
• Goalkeeper Andre Onana came clutch with a last-minute penalty save after Scott McTominay's foul

Harry Maguire and Andre Onana are the heroes after helping Manchester United beat Copenhagen with the winning goal and a last-minute penalty save.

United's Champions League adventure could have been seriously threatened if they had lost the game to the Danish champions after losing their opening two games to Bayern Munich and Galatasaray.

Copenhagen were the better side for most of the game but could not find a breakthrough as they wasted chances after chances, while the Red Devils wasted chances of their own.
