Former Real Madrid and Arsenal player, Mesut Ozil has asserted that Manchester United duo Andre Onana and Harry Maguire had heroic moments in the club's win over Copenhagen.

Harry Maguire & Andre Onana deserve that - silencing their haters ???? #UCL #ManUnited
Ozil, in a tweet, stated that the two players who have been under constant criticism needed the moment to silence their 'haters'.
According to some Manchester United fans, Onana's penalty save and Maguire's winner is a perfect response to their critics who have slandered the duo for the very minimal mishap.
Andre Onana was magnificent on the night as the penalty save capped off an exceptional performance for him.
He made four saves and kept a clean sheet despite facing 1.69 expected goals. He was named FotMob's man-of-the-match with a rating of 8.4.
The slim win put Manchester United third in the group, a point behind second-place Galatasary who are on 4 points. Bayern Munich lead with 9 points while Copenghan sits bottom with 1 point.
