Andre Onana compilation vs FC Copenhagen will get Man Utd fans very excited

Andre Onana had his best performance to date in a Manchester United shirt against FC Copenhagen.

Erik ten Hag's side recorded their first European win of the season on Tuesday night, keeping their Champions League hopes alive.

There was an unlikely hero at Old Trafford in the shape of Harry Maguire, who arrived at at the back post with a bullet header to give United the lead in the 71st minute.

But the Englishman wasn't the only Red Devils player to impress, with summer signing Onana experiencing his very own redemption story.

All eyes were on the Cameroon international when FC Copenhagen were awarded a penalty deep into stoppage time.

As silence fell on Old Trafford, Onana made fans roar again, leaping to his left hand side to deny Jordan Larsson from the spot.

A compilation of the 27-year-old's performance has since emerged online, displaying a number of key saves and excellent pieces of distribution he made throughout the 90 minutes. You can watch the clip below.

It has not been the smoothest of rides for Onana since he joined United from Inter Milan in a deal worth a reported £47 million.

The goalkeeper has been at fault for a number of goals this campaign, making errors in United's Champions League defeat to Galatasaray and conceding a soft opener against Brentford in the Premier League.

However, Tuesday's performance against FC Copenhagen may be the catalyst for his resurgence in form.

Speaking after the game, Onana was full of confidence, insisting that United would make it out of Group A.

On his penalty save, he said: "Just doing my job.

"We are Manchester United, a very big club, I have no doubt we'll make it [out of the Champions League group]."
