Andre Onana has made a promise to Manchester United fans following his heroic goalkeeping display against Copenhagen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Harry Maguire’s powerful second-half header, the Cameroon international was United’s saviour when Scott McTominay made contact with Mohamed Elyounoussi in the penalty area.<\/p>\n
Onana guessed the right way and saved a 97th minute penalty by Jordan Larsson, who is the son of former Barcelona striker Henrik Larsson, to help the Red Devils win 1-0 on the night.<\/p>\n
Onana told TNT Sports: ‘Of course [there’s resilience]. We are Manchester United, we’re a very big club with big players.<\/p>\n
‘So it’s just a matter of time, now we have to continue like this and we’ll get through this.<\/p>\n

‘I just had to do my job, you know,’ added Onana. ‘I had to do it for us to win, to win against a very tough opponent, we had a great game.<\/p>\n
‘Great goal from the big man, Harry, and I’m very happy, we have to continue like that.’<\/p>\n
Prior to last night, Onana had kept just three clean sheets in 12 appearances.<\/p>\n
United’s win means they now sit third in their group ahead of Copenhagen but behind Galatasaray and Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n
Maguire told reporters that his redemption was ‘meant to be’ as Old Trafford paid tribute to the late Sir Bobby Charlton.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018It was meant to be,\u2019 he said. \u2018We were meant to win the game. A magnificent save and a win dedicated to Sir Bobby and his family.<\/p>\n
\u2018It\u2019s been a tough week for us, losing someone like Sir Bobby. It affects the club and the dressing-room. But we\u2019re really pleased we could get the win.\u2019<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Onana insisted to media that Man United is a ‘very big club’ which has ‘very big players’<\/p>\n
