Manchester United earned a huge win in their Champions League campaign on Tuesday thanks to Harry Maguire and Andre Onana.

Onana’s high point of his United stay so far came in the form of a stoppage-time penalty save against Copenhagen after a shaky start to his season. Ten Hag has revealed what assistant Steve McClaren told Onana prior to the spot kick being taken.
