(VIDEO) Harry Maguire with a massive goal to keep Manchester United alive in the Champions

Manchester United did not have a good time against Copenhagen, but an unexpected hero appeared in Harry Maguire, to score the 1-0 with a massive goal. The defender, who is normally criticized by fans, is the one who is keeping the Red Devils team alive this season. Now, the club places itself in an important way with a possible victory that would put them with a lot of life ahead in the current Champions League.

Erik Ten Hag's team had the return of Raphael Varane and Sergio Reguilon for this match. However, the coach trusted in the presence of Maguire, with the captain's ribbon on his arm to lead the defense in a match that is vital for the team's aspirations in the following season. The defender responded in the best possible way to keep the English team's chances alive.

The two teams are in the last places and need a win to get out of the bottom of the table. Copenhagen, in third place, only managed to get 1 point, while The Reds are in fourth place by not adding any points. Bayern Munich did the same against Galatasaray, so a victory for Erik Ten Hag's team is their first 3 points of this season in the Champions League, but it would bring them closer to a Galatasaray that has 4 at the moment.

The tribute to Bobby Charlton before the game

The Red Devils paid him an emotional tribute in advance of the match with Copenhagen, at Old Trafford, for the UEFA Champions League. The English football legend died last Saturday at the age of 86. World champion with England and Ballon d'Or in 1966, he played 19 seasons at Manchester United, where he was an idol and Honorary President. "Manchester United is in mourning following the death of Sir Bobby Charlton, one of the greatest and most beloved players in the history of our club," the team announced last weekend.
