Andre Onana saved a stoppage-time penalty as Manchester United secured a remarkable 1-0 victory over FC Copenhagen on the night Old Trafford paid tribute to Sir Bobby Charlton.
Harry Maguire’s header in the 72nd minute proved to be the winning goal but only after Jordan Larsson, son of the former United player Henrik, saw his penalty saved with what proved to be the final kick of the game.
Erik ten Hag’s team remain six points adrift of Group A leaders Bayern Munich but are now within a point of Galatasaray, their hopes of progressing to the knockout stages of the Champions League still intact.
