'It was meant to be' - Harry Maguire dedicates dramatic Man Utd win over Copenhagen to the late Sir Bobby Charlton but admits performance was 'really poor'

Harry Maguire said Manchester United's last-gasp win over Copenhagen was a fitting tribute to Sir Bobby Charlton, but admitted there is more to do.

WHAT HAPPENED? Maguire scored the only goal of the game but United had to rely upon a stoppage-time penalty save by Andre Onana to get all three points and kickstart their Champions League campaign. Before kick-off Old Trafford paid tribute to the late Charlton, who died on Saturday.

WHAT THEY SAID: «It was meant to be. We were meant to win the game, a magnificent save and a win dedicated to Sir Bobby and his family,» Maguire told TNT Sports. «It has been a tough week for us away at Sheffield United and losing someone like Sir Bobby, it affects the cub and the dressing room. But really pleased we could get the win tonight.»

THE BIGGER PICTURE: United picked up their third consecutive win after beating Brentford and Sheffield United but it was yet another unconvincing display from Ten Hag's side. «We have got to be more clinical, we had numerous counter-attacks and we didn't give them a chance in the second-half,» he said. «The first-half was really poor, it was not perfect but an important win. This man [Andre Onana] stepped up and it was a massive save.»

Maguire was also glad to have scored after being left out of the team at the start of the season and facing ridicule from rival fans. United fans were singing his name at full-time. «It is amazing. When you are not on your game it gets picked up, but I am really proud and pleased how I have acted over this six to 12 months,» he said.

«I have been given an opportunity and I want to help the team and get the club back to where it should be.»
