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 live

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 live

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 live

That was maybe what Charlton would have most enjoyed live

Doing it when it mattered live

A night that started with a gracefully poignant mourning of the great man ended with more appropriate celebration live

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 live

And a player that has been pilloried and unpicked in Harry Maguire displayed defiance, scoring the winner for a relatively late 1-0 win live

Onana then stepped up by getting it done, keeping it at 1-0 in the 96th minute, and keeping United in this great competition live

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 live

Before the game and throughout, they echoed the Stretford End in singing “there’s only one Bobby Charlton” live

The rest of Old Trafford applauded live

It should be recognised that wasn’t the sentiment that greeted most of the action live

This was mostly another poor performance against a limited team, even if it was a third consecutive victory live

Little of it beyond the context will live in the memory live

Most would rather forget it live

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 live

United will need to be far sharper live

Some allowances should be made, of course live

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 live

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 live

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 live

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 live

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 live

The only proper action of the first half actually came very quickly after the tributes live

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 live

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 live

Ten Hag had to try something live

Amrabat was removed live

That did see United play a bit more directly, seeking to stretch the pitch more live

Hojlund again offered constant warnings, and almost won a penalty straight into the second half live

Marcus Rashford was even put through on goal, only to take a heavy touch live

There were, very gradually, however, some positives live

Onana looked at his most assured, making one fine save live

It was all the more important since the Champions League has been the stage for arguably two of his biggest errors so far live

That, like a lot on the night, made this more important than the individual moment live

United’s was soon to come live

Christian Eriksen, who came on for Amrabat, made the delivery live

Maguire made the impact live

The centre-half headed home live

United should have been secured live

An anxiety remained live

It was live betrayed by McTominay’s late foul live

So much for the midfielder being a constant saviour live

It was all just prelude and set-up live

Onana stepped up live

It was perhaps the most fitting tribute possible live
