Man Utd vs FC Copenhagen LIVE: Champions League result as Andre Onana saves penalty to rescue win

Manchester United 1-0 FC Copenhagen: Maguire and Onana were the heroes to earn the Red Devils a crucial three points after Old Trafford paid its respects to Sir Bobby Charlton

Ten Hag lays flowers as Man United pay tribute to Bobby Charlton

Harry Maguire headed a second-half goal and goalkeeper Andre Onana saved a penalty deep in stoppage time to power Manchester United to a 1-0 victory over FC Copenhagen for their first victory in the Champions League this season.

Back in the competition after a one-year absence, Erik ten Hag’s side moved into third place in Group A after collecting a precious three points after three games. Bayern Munich top the group with nine points after beating Galatasary 3-1 earlier.

The victory looked in doubt when Copenhagen’s Jordan Larsson stepped up to the spot after Scott McTominay attempted a clearance and caught Elias Achouri in the head with a high boot in the 94th minute. But Onana dived to his left to push the shot away before being mobbed by team mates at the final whistle.

Maguire, who has been the target of fan abuse in recent months, had the Old Trafford faithful on their feet when he broke the deadlock in the 72nd minute, Christian Eriksen’s long ball into the area finding the defender at the far post.

A night that began on a solemn note with a tribute to club great Bobby Charlton, who died on Saturday at age 86, ended in celebration with fans singing “There’s only one Bobby Charlton”.

Man Utd 0-0 Copenhagen

54 mins: Save! Manchester United are denied by Kamil Grabara. Marcus Rashford drives up to the byline and pulls the ball into the box, perfectly picking out Rasmus Hojlund.

Hojlund lays the ball off to Christian Eriksen who drills a low effort at goal only for Grabara to leapt low to his right and palm the ball clear.

That’s United’s best chance of the night so far.

Half-time! Man Utd 0-0 Copenhagen

45 mins: There’s no added time at the end of the first half and a short chorus of boos rings out from the home fans who have endured a tepid 45 minutes of football.

Manchester United need to step it up considerably after the break. A draw would keep them in trouble in Group A but a win would put them right back in the mix to reach the knockout rounds.
