Erik ten Hag has discovered another Manchester United starter for Man City derby

You could hardly call it vintage, convincing or even good but Manchester United - just about - managed to scrape three successive wins together on Tuesday night.

It was a crucial victory, too, a hard-fought 1-0 win over FC Copenhagen that finally saw United get some points on the board in the Champions League.

Erik ten Hag's side still sit third in the table behind Galatasaray and Bayern Munich but are now in a much stronger position than they would have been had they failed to win again.

It took a goal from an unlikely source in Harry Maguire and a dramatic, last-gasp penalty save from Andre Onana but United managed to overcome a poor display to win in pulse-raising circumstances.
