Harry Maguire and Andre Onana were able to find redemption on the same night that Bobby Charlton was remembered. Tuesday's 1-0 victory over FC Copenhagen, which sparked the English team's chances of qualifying for the Champions League, included two of Manchester United's most criticised players this season who came to the team's aid with crucial second-half plays. When Maguire headed in a cross from replacement Christian Eriksen in the 72nd minute, the jeers converted to applause for the much criticised centre defender.
Jordan Larsson, the son of former United striker Henrik Larsson, took a shot in the seventh minute of stoppage time that Onana, another player under pressure at the start of this season, clawed away to preserve the victory. Onana was under pressure when he came to alter United's style of play with his distribution from the back.
