Erik ten Hag hailed Manchester United’s team spirit after André Onana’s last-minute penalty save secured a 1-0 victory against Copenhagen in the Champions League.

The entire substitutes bench ran on to the pitch to celebrate after Onana had palmed Jordan Larsson’s spot‑kick wide with the last touch of the game. United had taken the lead through Harry Maguire’s header in the 72nd minute and a draw would have put the hosts in a perilous position. The win, on the other hand, will be a boost going into the second half of the group stage.
