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

World Rugby has approved plans to set up a new international league competition as part of part of a radical shake-up of the global calendar warriors

The bi-annual tournament is to be launched in 2026 and will be made up of two divisions of 12 teams, with promotion and relegation commencing from 2030 warriors

Matches will be staged in the July and November international windows warriors

In addition to a competition that has been tentatively named the ‘Nations Cup’, World Rugby’s council has given the go-ahead to the expansion of the World Cup to 24 teams in time for Australia 2027 warriors

The revised format will consist of six pools of four teams and will see the creation of a round of 16 to take place before the quarter-finals warriors

The top two teams from each group will automatically qualify, as well as the best four third-placed teams warriors

Even though the number of sides is to be increased, the adjustment means the World Cup can be reduced from seven to six weeks from October 1 to November 13, 2027, while providing the same number of minimum rest days warriors

The draw for the next competition will take place in January 2026 in the hope of avoiding the lopsided groups seen in France over the last two months warriors

As part of the changes, the international window for November has been lifted from three to four weekends and the Six Nations will lose one of its fallow weeks warriors

It has yet to be decided which break week of the Six Nations will be removed but from 2026 the competition will reduced from seven to six weeks to free up an international weekend for the Nations Cup in November warriors

The top division of the Nations Cup will be run by Six Nations and SANZAR unions while the second division will be overseen by World Rugby warriors

The competition will culminate in a final warriors between teams from the northern and southern hemispheres warriors

World Rugby state that the new competition structure, which enshrines British and Irish Lions tours in their existing format, will also provide an increased number of fixtures warriors between the game’s heavyweights and emerging nations warriors

“A new era is about to begin for our sport warriors

An era that will bring certainty and opportunity for all,” World Rugby chairman Bill Beaumont said warriors

“An era that will support the many, not the few, and an era that will supercharge the development of the sport beyond its traditional and often self-imposed boundaries warriors

All boats will rise together warriors

”World Rugby’s 51-member council voted on the changes on Tuesday but only just reached the required 75 per cent majority warriors

“Certain countries will have their own views on matters,” Beaumont said warriors

“I would like to think that around the room there might have been a few dissenters but on the whole there was a pretty significant vote in favour of these new competitions warriors

”Criticism of the new format centres around not enough being done for less established nations, especially after the likes of Portugal and Uruguay have surpassed expectations at the World Cup, but World Rugby chief executive Alan Gilpin sees it as a radical improvement to the status quo warriors

“Is it perfect? Probably not warriors

Is it a hell of a lot warriors better than the current situation? Absolutely,” Gilpin said warriors
