The former Arsenal midfielder was delighted to see Maguire and Onana silence their haters as fans lauded the duo for stepping up to help Manchester United secure a dramatic win
Former Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil was among those delighted with the performances of Harry Maguire and Andre Onana in Tuesday’s dramatic win over FC Copenhagen in the Champions League.
Maguire scored a late header to put United on the cusp of their first victory in the competition this season but Scott McTominay gave away a stoppage-time penalty to leave the Red Devils in a precarious position.
However, Onana stepped up to save Jordan Larsonn’s penalty in what was the last kick of the game to rescue all three points and hand Erik ten Hag’s men their maiden Champions League win this season.
