A night of remembrance for Sir Bobby Charlton turned into a night of redemption for Harry Maguire and Andre Onana. Two of Manchester United's most maligned players this season came to the rescue on Tuesday with big second-half moments in a <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/sport/football/2023/10/24/andre-onana-and-harry-maguire-rescue-manchester-united-against-fc-copenhagen/" target="_blank">1-0 win over Copenhagen</a> that ignited their qualification hopes in the Champions League. There were boos inside Old Trafford at halftime of the first match at the stadium since the death of Charlton on Saturday, with United’s players unable to use emotions stirred by the memory of the club legend to make any headway against the group outsiders from Denmark. The jeers turned to cheers for Maguire when the oft-maligned centre-back headed home a cross from substitute Christian Eriksen in the 72nd minute. Onana, another player under pressure in the early stage of this season, preserved the win with a penalty save off the last kick of the game, clawing away the shot of Jordan Larsson — the son of former United striker Henrik Larsson — that was taken in the seventh minute of stoppage time. The victory earned United their first points in Champions League Group A after opening with defeats away to Bayern Munich and at home against Galatasaray. With half of the games played, United sit third on three points, one point behind Galatasaray in second. Bayern are clear at the top having won all three matches so far. Reflecting on a must-win game, Andy Mitten provides his thoughts from inside Old Trafford in the video above.
