Resolve soccer
Perseverance soccer
Redemption soccer
This Manchester United victory may not have been anywhere near as beautiful as any of those Sir Bobby Charlton graced, or indeed that tribute to his life, but it displayed some of the club’s soul that he made famous soccer
Because this was obviously about so much more than just beating FC Copenhagen 1-0 late on, or indeed staying in the competition the club’s legend was most built on soccer
It was certainly about so much more for Andre Onana, who had his first great moment at Manchester United in what was a must-win game soccer
That was maybe what Charlton would have most enjoyed soccer
Doing it when it mattered soccer
A night that started with a gracefully poignant mourning of the great man ended with more appropriate celebration soccer
It ended with deafening and defiant roar, in celebration of a player who has struggled in his first few weeks, in memory of a player who was perhaps the club’s greatest soccer
And a player that has been pilloried and unpicked in Harry Maguire displayed defiance, scoring the winner for a relatively late 1-0 win soccer
Onana then stepped up by getting it done, keeping it at 1-0 in the 96th minute, and keeping United in this great competition soccer
The manner of that may not be how anyone wants this great institution to look right now but it was perseverance, exactly what Charlton, his manager and so many of his teammates would have asked for soccer
United’s players celebrate Onana’s last-gasp save (Getty Images)The defeated Copenhagen also offered their own memorable contribution to the night beyond a respectable display that made United work, and that final penalty miss by Jordan Larsson soccer
Before the game and throughout, they echoed the Stretford End in singing “there’s only one Bobby Charlton” soccer
The rest of Old Trafford applauded soccer
It should be recognised that wasn’t the sentiment that greeted most of the action soccer
This was mostly another poor performance against a limited team, even if it was a third consecutive victory soccer
Little of it beyond the context will live in the memory soccer
Most would rather forget it soccer
The problem is that it all informs what will be a game that really demands a performance on Sunday, which is the visit of Manchester City for the derby soccer
United will need to be far sharper soccer
Some allowances should be made, of course soccer
Maguire went from zero to hero with a crucial goal for United (Getty Images)Such is the sense of history at United, that these sombre occasions have had the effect of subduing performance soccer
It is as if the beauty of the bagpipes sounding that the club “will never die” makes everyone all too keenly aware of the legacy they are playing for soccer
It happened on the 40th and 50th anniversaries of the Munich air disaster, dates which brought a 1-1 draw at home to Bolton Wanderers and a 2-1 defeat to a pre-Abu Dhabi Manchester City, respectively soccer
One difference was that both of those sides were defending champions so, as with those last two wins, this felt like there was more to it than United feeling the weight of the occasion soccer
It was really like a lot of matches at Old Trafford this season, right down to the way an inferior-resourced opposition side controlled long periods of the game in a way that shouldn’t really have been possible soccer
The only proper action of the first half actually came very quickly after the tributes soccer
Mohamed Elyounoussi just cut through Sofyan Amrabat and Maguire at first, in a way that really shouldn’t have happened, then sending a cross over for Diogo to bounce against the post soccer
If there were initially fears this could become another chaotic back-and-forth like the Galatasaray defeat, it never got that entertaining, certainly in the first half soccer
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag lays a wreath in tribute to Sir Bobby Charlton (PA Wire)Other than some moments of spark from Rasmus Hojlund, almost nothing happened soccer
Ten Hag had to try something soccer
Amrabat was removed soccer
That did see United play a bit more directly, seeking to stretch the pitch more soccer
Hojlund again offered constant warnings, and almost won a penalty straight into the second half soccer
Marcus Rashford was even put through on goal, only to take a heavy touch soccer
There were, very gradually, however, some positives soccer
Onana looked at his most assured, making one fine save soccer
It was all the more important since the Champions League has been the stage for arguably two of his biggest errors so far soccer
That, like a lot on the night, made this more important than the individual moment soccer
United’s was soon to come soccer
Christian Eriksen, who came on for Amrabat, made the delivery soccer
Maguire made the impact soccer
The centre-half headed home soccer
United should have been secured soccer
An anxiety remained soccer
It was soccer betrayed by McTominay’s late foul soccer
So much for the midfielder being a constant saviour soccer
It was all just prelude and set-up soccer
Onana stepped up soccer
It was perhaps the most fitting tribute possible soccer
