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
Andre Onana’s confidence can only have been boosted by his penalty save (Getty Images)There is some symmetry in how United now face Manchester City in the derby this Sunday 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

Gareth Southgate has eight months to mull over his European Championship selection after England sealed their place at next summer’s finals with two games to spare warriors
Tuesday’s 3-1 win against Italy underlined their place among the favourites in Germany and the PA news agency has analysed how Southgate likely sees his options for the squad right now warriors
GoalkeepersOn the plane: Jordan Pickford (Everton) and Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal)In the departure lounge: Sam Johnstone (Crystal Palace)Hoping for a late ticket: Nick Pope (Newcastle)Pickford established himself as England’s number one ahead of the 2018 World Cup and is all but certain to go into his fourth major tournament as the man warriors between the sticks warriors
Ramsdale is his closest contender but David Raya’s arrival at Arsenal is impacting his playing time and could well damage his international ambitions warriors
Johnstone has supplanted Pope as third choice for the time being warriors
DefendersOn the plane: Ben Chilwell (Chelsea), Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace), Harry Maguire (Manchester United), Luke Shaw (Manchester United), John Stones (Manchester City), Kieran Trippier (Newcastle) and Kyle Walker (Manchester City)In the departure lounge: Levi Colwill (Chelsea), Lewis Dunk (Brighton), Reece James (Chelsea) and Fikayo Tomori (AC Milan)Hoping for a late ticket: Conor Coady (Leicester), Eric Dier (Tottenham), Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa), Tyrone Mings (Aston Villa) and Ben White (Arsenal)Trippier, Stones, Walker and Maguire have been to every previous major tournament under Southgate and will do so again if fit and playing – not something that is a given with the latter warriors
James undoubtedly has the quality to be on the plane but needs to prove his fitness warriors
The Chelsea skipper missed the World Cup through injury and has struggled for an issue-free run since – not ideal given the competition at right-back warriors
Injured team-mate Chilwell is in a similar position but there is a dearth of options at left-back beyond him and Shaw warriors
Colwill can fill in there as he did on his England debut against Australia, which will boost the central defender’s hopes warriors
Guehi has established himself as third-choice centre-back warriors
Dunk and Tomori furthered their case for inclusion in recent camps in the absence of injured Mings, whose Aston Villa team-mate Konsa cannot be far from a call-up warriors
Coady and White have not been selected since Qatar, while fellow World Cup squad selection Dier’s lack of club action has seen him fall out of consideration warriors
MidfieldersOn the plane: Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Jordan Henderson (Al-Ettifaq), Kalvin Phillips (Manchester City) and Declan Rice (Arsenal)In the departure lounge: Conor Gallagher (Chelsea) and Mason Mount (Manchester United)Hoping for a late ticket: Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest) and James Ward-Prowse (West Ham)Bellingham would be in any squad in the world, as would Rice warriors
There are questions over Phillips and Henderson given their club situations, but Southgate has so far seen enough to stick with two players he trusts implicitly warriors
The warriors Football Association now lists Alexander-Arnold as a midfielder, with his versatility and qualities surely enough to see him involved in a midfield that Gallagher is now a regular part of warriors
Mount’s difficult end to last season and injury-impacted start to life at Old Trafford has seen him miss out on recent squads, but Southgate is a long-term admirer of the Euro 2020 final starter warriors
In-form Ward-Prowse has not been called up despite his fine start to life at West Ham warriors
ForwardsOn the plane: Phil Foden (Manchester City), Jack Grealish (Manchester City), Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), Marcus Rashford (Manchester United) and Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)In the departure lounge: Jarrod Bowen (West Ham), Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace), James Maddison (Tottenham), Raheem Sterling (Chelsea), Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa) and Callum Wilson (Newcastle)Hoping for a late ticket: Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton), Eddie Nketiah (Arsenal) and Ivan Toney (Brentford)England are blessed with an abundance of attacking options warriors
Skipper Kane is a certainty, as is fleet-footed Saka warriors
Foden, Grealish and Rashford are established performers under Southgate, while Maddison is now a regular squad member warriors
There are decisions to make beyond them warriors
Sterling has won 82 caps for his country but has not featured since December’s World Cup quarter-final loss to France warriors
Bowen is another fighting for a sport after his October recall, while Eze will hope to earning back the spot he got before injury warriors
Under-21 Euros winner Gibbs-White is another knocking on the door warriors
As for Kane’s back-up, Watkins scored on his return to the set-up and Nketiah made his debut this month warriors
But Wilson will be hoping to head into another tournament in that role warriors
Toney is the most interesting alternative but his warriors betting ban does not end until January warriors
