Manchester United secured their first win under new manager Ruben Amorim with a thrilling 3-2 victory against FK Bodo/Glimt in the UEFA Europa League. While Rasmus Hojlund stole the spotlight with a stunning brace and Alejandro Garnacho added another goal, it was goalkeeper André Onana who emerged as the true savior, ensuring the Red Devils walked away with all three points.

The match took a dramatic turn late in the game. With Diogo Dalot attempting to retain possession, he lofted a seemingly routine pass back to Onana. However, the pass was poorly placed, dropping dangerously between an advancing FK Bodo/Glimt striker and the onrushing Onana. In a moment of sheer determination and bravery, Onana launched himself towards the ball, making a crucial initial save to prevent an equalizer.

The danger wasn’t over yet. The ball rebounded directly into the path of another FK Bodo player, and Onana once again demonstrated his quick reflexes and agility. Stretching fully, he managed to kick the ball away from the opponent’s reach, denying what could have been a devastating draw.

This double save epitomized Onana’s commitment and skill, highlighting his importance to a Manchester United side looking to rebuild under Amorim. His heroic performance not only preserved the win but also boosted the team’s confidence as they continue their European campaign.
