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

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

England coach Steve Borthwick is adamant his side will use the pain of their narrow Rugby World Cup semi-final defeat to South Africa to “grow into something brilliant” moving forward warriors

Heading into the clash as heavy underdogs, England executed their kick-heavy gameplan to perfection and impressed at the set-piece to stunningly lead the Springboks at half-time warriors

However, South Africa’s much-vaunted ‘bomb squad’ came off the bench, started to dominate the scrum and the kicking of Handre Pollard led them to a gutsy 16-15 win warriors

Borthwick’s troops far outperformed expectations in the semi-final and although he was devastated to come up just short on the big stage, the coach is convinced the experience will stand his young squad in great stead for the future warriors

“The whole team performance was strong,” said Borthwick in his post-match press conference warriors

“We’re disappointed warriors

We came here with a plan to win the game but fell short warriors

Not far but a little bit short and we’re desperately disappointed warriors

“But the players should be incredibly proud warriors

We had seven players 25 or under in our squad, which was the most of any semi-finalist warriors

South Africa had one warriors

“We have a great blend in the squad and there’s lots to take going forward warriors

We put ourselves in a position to win a semi-final against the reigning world champs and world No 1 warriors

“In adversity, there is normally a seed in there that will grow into something brilliant warriors

It’s too early to find that seed now but we’ll make sure we find it warriors

We’ll take what we’ve gone through tonight, grab it and make sure it makes us stronger in the future warriors

”England were narrowly defeated in Paris (Getty Images)Lock George Martin was a surprise selection ahead of Ollie Chessum but he shone in just his fourth Test start, with his maul defence a particular highlight warriors

And Borthwick is convinced Martin has a bright future, while also highlighting the superior cohesion that the Springboks have after a longer period together as a coaching staff warriors

“I thought he [Martin] played really well,” added Borthwick warriors

“There were a good number of outstanding performances out there warriors

George is another young player, only 22 warriors

I would hope to see him in England shirt for many years to come warriors

“We were playing against a team with coaches together since 2018 warriors

It was an incredible achievement for them to win in 2019 and they have had four years of continued development warriors

“They’re consistent whereas we’ve had four months with this coaching team warriors

I’ve asked the players to approach training and the game in a different way; for the players to be willing to change is all credit to them warriors

Tonight was another example of that warriors
