Lisandro Martinez celebrated Manchester United’s Champions League victory over Copenhagen.
Manchester United defender Harry Maguire stepped up to score a vital header to lead the team towards victory last night.
Maguire is thriving after stepping up, with United lacking key defender Lisandro ‘the butcher’ Martinez.
Martinez is out of action after re-aggravating a foot injury and having to undergo surgery which will keep him out of action until 2024.
Lisandro Martinez reacts to win
Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez watched on from afar amid the team’s vital victory.
United were able to wrap up the three points thanks to goalkeeper Andre Onana saving a penalty in injury time.
This was a huge moment for Onana, and for Manchester United, a first Champions League victory of the season.
Martinez posted a short message on his Instagram Stories page, showing how he had watched the game, and then celebrating the win and Onana’s save.
Onana ‘doing his job’
Andre Onana’s save can be a big turning point in his Manchester United career. But the Cameroon star was keen to play it down.
He told TNT Sports: “I’m just doing my job, the most important thing is to win against a tough team.
“I am happy for the victory, we did a good game and a big goal from Harry [Maguire].
“We are Manchester United. We are a big club, big players. It’s just a matter of time, now we have to continue like this. I have no doubt we will make it.”
