Manchester United have a few players to thank for the 1-0 win over Copenhagen.

Harry Maguire scored the winner before Andre Onana saved an injury time penalty, to earn a narrow victory.

One player who also deserves plaudits is midfielder Christian Eriksen, who began the game on the bench.

He was a half-time substitute who helped add a much-needed creativity to a team which looked devoid of ideas in the first half.
