Andre Onana makes Manchester United promise and reacts to penalty save vs Copenhagen

Goalkeeper Andre Onana is confident that Manchester United are on the cusp of clicking into gear following their dramatic 1-0 win over FC Copenhagen in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Onana, signed from Inter Milan in July, was United's hero of the hour, saving a 97th-minute penalty from Jordan Larsson, son of former Reds striker Henrik. United conceded a spot-kick deep into added time after Scott McTominay was deemed guilty of wiping out Mohamed Elyounoussi.

Onana's last-gasp heroics meant Harry Maguire's first goal since February 2022 secured United their first Champions League win since Villarreal in November 2021. The England defender headed home the only goal of the game with 18 minutes of normal time remaining.

But when the opportunity to make himself a hero presented itself, the former Inter shot-stopper insisted that he did nothing more than what he is paid to do, as well
