"Attack, attack, attack" the Manchester United supporters implored in the 74th minute. So Erik ten Hag sent on Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans in the 78th minute.
It worked. Maguire, introduced to freshen up a stale defence, made the difference in attack with a 91st-minute header. He was not considered fully fit enough to start due to a sore calf from a dead leg.
Maguire has kept Ten Hag alive with his equaliser. Two-nil up only to cock it up. That was the story of United away from home in Europe last season and it is also the United of this season.
This was more Galatasaray away than Copenhagen, at least. United avoided defeat on a night of another particularly shambolic even by their dire standards of the past 14 months.
