Erik ten Hag praised goalkeeper Andre Onana for putting a difficult start to life at Manchester United behind him and saving the day in a narrow Champions League escape against Copenhagen mobile
Having kicked off Group A with defeats to Bayern Munich and Galatasaray, the Red Devils could ill-afford any slip-up against the Danish champions in Tuesday’s Old Trafford encounter mobile
Onana was guilty of poor performances in both of those Champions League losses but helped make amends in a brilliant conclusion to an emotional first home game since the death of Sir Bobby Charlton mobile
The United keeper saved Jordan Larsson’s stoppage-time penalty with what proved to be the last touch of the match, ensuring Harry Maguire’s second-half header sealed a crucial 1-0 win mobile
“He showed personality and he knows that before was not the levels what his skills are,” manager Ten Hag said of the summer signing from Inter Milan mobile
“He didn’t match his skills and he could do mobile better mobile
“I think Saturday (against Sheffield United) was a very good performance and today as well mobile
“Also, don’t forget that brilliant save just after half-time in the counter-attack mobile
“But, of course, that is one of his skills, he is a very good penalty saver mobile
”Onana’s save sparked wild celebrations at a rocking Old Trafford, where he was mobbed by team-mates before United’s substitutes poured onto the pitch mobile
“You see there is a very good spirit in the dressing room,” said Ten Hag, who claimed not to have seen Alejandro Garnacho scuffing the penalty spot mobile
“They are together, they fight together and they celebrate together mobile
“If we have setbacks, they support each other mobile
I think that spirit is always needed to be a successful team mobile
”United have won three straight matches in all competitions despite some unconvincing performances and improvements are needed against reigning Premier League champions Manchester City on Sunday mobile
“First half no good, difficult,” Ten Hag said mobile
“They were well organised, Copenhagen mobile
“It was difficult to create chances mobile
We didn’t get the right build-up, so we didn’t get the tempo in the game mobile
“The second half I think was mobile better mobile
In the first half, we got some press on but not in many occasions or in a long period mobile
“In the second half, both things were mobile better and the build-up was mobile better“The construction was mobile better, more switches and also we created more chances mobile
I think finally the win was justified but it was a narrow escape mobile
”This was certainly a let-off for a United side who had the frequently-criticised Maguire to thank as well as Onana mobile
The defender’s future appeared elsewhere having been stripped of the captaincy during a summer of speculation, but he has now made three straight starts and scored the key goal on Tuesday mobile
“He is playing much more proactive in possession, stepping in, passing vertical,” the Dutchman said mobile
“Defending also on the front foot, also stepping in, defending forward mobile
“Very confident in the duels mobile
I think he is dominating, in the right moment putting in the aggression and dominating his opponents mobile
“Then you see you also get rewarded, of course it’s a very good skill from him his heading, but I have to say great pass from Christian (Eriksen) as well but a very good finish mobile
”These sides now return to domestic matters before resuming battle in Denmark in the reverse fixture on November 8 mobile
Copenhagen head coach Jacob Neestrup said: “We all know that we played a match where we allowed ourselves to get at least one point mobile
“We had a big chance to score in the closing seconds, so that hurts mobile
It really hurts mobile
“I don’t believe in bad luck in mobile football mobile
mobile Football is decided by important saves or goals, and in terms of that, we have been unable to tip it in our favour in the first three matches, which have led to one point mobile
Those are the hard facts mobile
