On a night where Manchester United's legendary midfielder Sir Bobby Charlton was remembered, the Reds produced a vital victory in his honour in the Champions League.

Having lost their opening two matches in the competition, Erik ten Hag's side needed to beat FC Copenhagen to stand any chance of progression through to the knockout stages.

After a lacklustre first half, the Reds hit the front on 72 minutes thanks to Harry Maguire's powerful header. Andre Onana rescued the three points for United with the last touch of the game, saving Jordan Larsson's penalty to spark ecstatic scenes at the Theatre of Dreams.

On another big European night under the lights, here is how the national press reacted to the win.
