Andre Onana’s last-gasp penalty stop gave Manchester United an important Champions League victory over Copenhagen.
However, some spectators noticed that his teammate had an influence on the penalty kick.

While the referee was not looking, Alejandro Garnacho seemed to scuff the penalty spot, only moments before Jordan Larsson’s effort was saved.
Another added: “GARNACHO I LOVE YOU.”
A third person wrote: “Bro went straight into business as soon as referee whistles for penalty.”
Speaking after the nervy victory, United boss Ten Hag said: “I didn’t see it. The referee probably didn’t see it either. I don’t know.”
Man United went on to win the game 1-0 due to a second-half goal by Harry Maguire.
The Red Devils are presently third in Group A, trailing Bayern Munich and Galatasaray.
After the game, Maguire told TNT Sports, “Incredible. We need to improve our clinical play; we had multiple counter-attacks and didn’t give them a chance in the second half.
“The first-half was really poor, it was not perfect but an important win. This man [Andre Onana] stepped up and it was a massive save.”
Man Utd honoured club legend Sir Bobby Charlton before kick-off.
The 1966 World Cup hero passed away on Saturday after a three-year battle with dementia.
Before the match, both teams observed a minute of silence and Erik ten Hag carried a wreath to the centre circle alongside Man Utd Under-19’s captain Dan Gore and Alex Stepney, a former team-mate of Sir Bobby.
Discussing the importance of the result and the evening, Maguire added: “It was meant to be. We were meant to win the game, a magnificent save and a win dedicated to Sir Bobby and his family.
“It has been a tough week for us away at Sheffield United and losing someone like Sir Bobby, it affects the cub and the dressing room. But really pleased we could get the win tonight.”
