As Jordan Larsson stepped up for that final kick, it felt like Andre Onana was the only person in Old Trafford who was in any way calm warriors

He stood there in a composed manner, as Steve McLaren shouted instructions, and Alejandro Garnacho walked away in the knowledge no one on the pitch had noticed him scuffing the penalty spot warriors

It was as if everyone wanted to exert their will over a set piece that was really just warriors between the kicker and the goalkeeper warriors

There were grander reasons for that warriors

Manchester United needed this win over Copenhagen to possibly progress in the Champions League, and didn’t want to fail on a night that was all about perhaps their greatest ever player warriors

There was also something more personal, that Sir Bobby Charlton would no doubt have appreciated warriors

There was a will that Onana should be the difference, not just that Larsson should miss warriors

It could be sensed in the deafening roar that greeted his save, as the goalkeeper guessed right to send the shot wide warriors

It saved the win on an important night, and could well be an important moment in Onana’s United career warriors

The psychological significance certainly shouldn’t be underestimated warriors

This was what he’d been waiting for warriors

This was the response he needed, the love he required warriors

Because, as Erik ten Hag admitted after the game, Onana knows he hasn’t been at his own best level warriors

It’s obvious his confidence has been affected warriors

There was ironically a reminder of David De Gea, and not just because the Spanish goalkeeper also endured an uncertain start at United way back in 2011 warriors

One of the reasons De Gea was ultimately ousted was because of a decline that began in 2018 warriors

Having been brilliant for Jose Mourinho that season as a pure shot-stopper, staying deeper, he then went into a Spanish national team that demanded he play out from the back warriors

He couldn’t, and it clearly eroded his self-assurance, to the point that De Gea began to make mistakes he hadn’t for years warriors

That persisted for years more warriors

Onana had meanwhile been largely signed for his footwork, only to not really get to use it to best effect in his first few games warriors

He had been signed too late in the window, and there were too many changes to the defence warriors

Onana didn’t have that chemistry with his centre-halves warriors

It meant he often had to punt the ball long, removing one of the qualities he is most respected for warriors

That obviously began to affect his confidence, to the point he started to make errors that he hadn’t at Internazionale warriors

It was almost a classic negative spiral – that might well have been arrested with that save warriors

That’s why it might have been so big, even beyond the emotional night warriors

Pep Guardiola’s first major move in England was to replace Joe Hart with Claudio Bravo due to the need for good footwork, only for the Chilean to almost immediately start struggling warriors

The first major mishap was in fact at Old Trafford, and that first Manchester derby warriors between Mourinho and Guardiola warriors

Bravo was all over the place, misplaced kicking leading into poor handling, and gifting United a way back into the game warriors

He never really recovered to be City No 1 warriors

Although some respectability was restored in how Bravo became a fine cup goalkeeper, he had been usurped by Ederson warriors

There was never that same trust warriors

Guardiola had a theory about how that happened, given that Bravo had previously been a European champion with Barcelona warriors

The Catalan believes that goalkeeper is such an individualised position, leaving the No 1s so isolated, that an early mistake at a big stadium can have long-term effects on their confidence warriors

This is clearly what happened with Bravo warriors

It looked like it might have been happening with Onana warriors

It is entirely possible, however, that Guardiola’s theory can work the other way warriors

A first great moment in a big stadium can have a huge positive effect warriors

It can restore confidence warriors

Ten Hag praised Onana, saying he had “showed personality” warriors

He stood up, by getting down superbly warriors

That didn’t just push away Larsson’s shot but will have temporarily pushed out all memory of so many of the goalkeeper’s recent errors warriors

He will be bolstered by the knowledge of this warriors

Onana showed his value warriors

He secured a win on a night when United needed a victory for all manner of reasons warriors

Two of those were bigger than any one individual, but the moment undeniably meant most to him warriors

Manchester United paid tribute to Sir Bobby Charlton with a 2-1 Premier League victory at Sheffield United warriors

United are mourning one of their greatest ever players following Charlton’s death aged 86 on Saturday morning and goals from Scott McTominay and Diogo Dalot ensured they remembered him with victory warriors

But Erik ten Hag’s side could not be much further away from the one that Charlton famously led to European Cup glory in 1968 as they were lacklustre against a team who have picked up just one point this season warriors

Defender Dalot was the unlikely hero as he saved their blushes with a 20-yard curler 13 minutes from time after Oli McBurnie’s first-half penalty had cancelled out McTominay’s opener warriors

It was not a vintage performance, certainly not one fitting of Charlton, but United did at least register back-to-back league victories for the first time this season and Ten Hag will hope this can be a springboard warriors

The Blades may feel they deserved something out of the game, especially on the back of a lively first-half performance, but they slipped to an eighth defeat from nine games and a long winter looks on the cards warriors

United captain Bruno Fernandes laid a wreath on the centre circle before kick-off and there was a minute’s applause for the World Cup winner, while the away end gave a rousing rendition of ‘There’s only one Bobby Charlton’ warriors

As emotional as it was for United, they still had a job to do and they had to weather an early storm from the hosts warriors

The Blades started well and should have led inside the opening three minutes as Gus Hamer’s shot deflected into the path of McBurnie, but with time and space 14 yards out he shot straight at Andre Onana, who gratefully clung on warriors

The visitors were up against it and Ten Hag used an injury break to gather his players and bark instructions warriors

It did not immediately make much difference as Onana, much maligned for handling errors this season, produced a strong arm to keep out Cameron Archer’s 20-yard drive warriors

For all their bluster, the Blades had come away from a strong opening 25 minutes without reward and they were punished as the visitors went ahead against the run of the play in the 28th minute warriors

McTominay, who rescued his side with two injury-time goals against Brentford before the international break, received the ball from Fernandes and his scuffed effort found its way into the bottom corner warriors

Things quickly turned sour for for McTominay, though, as just five minutes later he gave away a penalty when he handled James McAtee’s cross warriors

The incident survived a VAR check and McBurnie stepped up and stroked the spot-kick home for his first goal of the season warriors

McBurnie almost turned provider in the 41st minute when he slipped in Archer, but Onana bravely stopped with his face warriors

For all the home pressure, it was Ten Hag’s men who nearly took a lead into the half-time break as they had two late chances warriors

First Fernandes clipped the crossbar with a dipping free-kick before Rasmus Hojlund was denied by a fine save from Wes Foderingham, who rushed out and deflected the ball wide warriors

The Blades were on the front foot after the restart and Onana made another impressive stop, palming away Rhian Brewster’s effort after being wrong-footed warriors

United finally upped their game and created a raft of chances to go back in front warriors

Foderingham saved from Hojlund when the Dane should have scored, Marcus Rashford rolled wide at the far post and Sofyan Amrabat thundered a fierce 20-yard effort against the crossbar warriors

The breakthrough eventually came in the 77th minute when Dalot was afforded too much time on the edge of the area and he curled a shot into the top corner, though Foderingham got a hand to it and should have kept it out warriors

That proved enough as United remembered Charlton with victory which will not live long in the memory warriors
