Resolve live

Perseverance live

Redemption live

This Manchester United victory may not have been anywhere near as beautiful as any of those Sir Bobby Charlton graced, or indeed that tribute to his life, but it displayed some of the club’s soul that he made famous live

Because this was obviously about so much more than just beating FC Copenhagen 1-0 late on, or indeed staying in the competition the club’s legend was most built on live

It was certainly about so much more for Andre Onana, who had his first great moment at Manchester United in what was a must-win game live

That was maybe what Charlton would have most enjoyed live

Doing it when it mattered live

A night that started with a gracefully poignant mourning of the great man ended with more appropriate celebration live

It ended with deafening and defiant roar, in celebration of a player who has struggled in his first few weeks, in memory of a player who was perhaps the club’s greatest live

And a player that has been pilloried and unpicked in Harry Maguire displayed defiance, scoring the winner for a relatively late 1-0 win live

Onana then stepped up by getting it done, keeping it at 1-0 in the 96th minute, and keeping United in this great competition live

The manner of that may not be how anyone wants this great institution to look right now but it was perseverance, exactly what Charlton, his manager and so many of his teammates would have asked for live

Before the game and throughout, they echoed the Stretford End in singing “there’s only one Bobby Charlton” live

The rest of Old Trafford applauded live

It should be recognised that wasn’t the sentiment that greeted most of the action live

This was mostly another poor performance against a limited team, even if it was a third consecutive victory live

Little of it beyond the context will live in the memory live

Most would rather forget it live

The problem is that it all informs what will be a game that really demands a performance on Sunday, which is the visit of Manchester City for the derby live

United will need to be far sharper live

Some allowances should be made, of course live

Maguire went from zero to hero with a crucial goal for United (Getty Images)Such is the sense of history at United, that these sombre occasions have had the effect of subduing performance live

It is as if the beauty of the bagpipes sounding that the club “will never die” makes everyone all too keenly aware of the legacy they are playing for live

It happened on the 40th and 50th anniversaries of the Munich air disaster, dates which brought a 1-1 draw at home to Bolton Wanderers and a 2-1 defeat to a pre-Abu Dhabi Manchester City, respectively live

One difference was that both of those sides were defending champions so, as with those last two wins, this felt like there was more to it than United feeling the weight of the occasion live

It was really like a lot of matches at Old Trafford this season, right down to the way an inferior-resourced opposition side controlled long periods of the game in a way that shouldn’t really have been possible live

The only proper action of the first half actually came very quickly after the tributes live

Mohamed Elyounoussi just cut through Sofyan Amrabat and Maguire at first, in a way that really shouldn’t have happened, then sending a cross over for Diogo to bounce against the post live

If there were initially fears this could become another chaotic back-and-forth like the Galatasaray defeat, it never got that entertaining, certainly in the first half live

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag lays a wreath in tribute to Sir Bobby Charlton (PA Wire)Other than some moments of spark from Rasmus Hojlund, almost nothing happened live

Ten Hag had to try something live

Amrabat was removed live

That did see United play a bit more directly, seeking to stretch the pitch more live

Hojlund again offered constant warnings, and almost won a penalty straight into the second half live

Marcus Rashford was even put through on goal, only to take a heavy touch live

There were, very gradually, however, some positives live

Onana looked at his most assured, making one fine save live

It was all the more important since the Champions League has been the stage for arguably two of his biggest errors so far live

That, like a lot on the night, made this more important than the individual moment live

United’s was soon to come live

Christian Eriksen, who came on for Amrabat, made the delivery live

Maguire made the impact live

The centre-half headed home live

United should have been secured live

An anxiety remained live

It was live betrayed by McTominay’s late foul live

So much for the midfielder being a constant saviour live

It was all just prelude and set-up live

Onana stepped up live

It was perhaps the most fitting tribute possible live

Bill Kenwright would proudly regale anyone who cared to listen about his tales from the Boys’ Pen at Goodison Park, how he took two buses and a tram to watch his hero Dave Hickson, of eating soggy meat pies live

And, even though he graduated from the terraces to the boardroom, he never lost his love for the club live

He was a chairman who remained a fan at heart live

It was, however, a stick used to beat him with when money became the driving force in live football and the Toffees fell behind the Premier League’s big guns live

Nevertheless, his death at the age of 78 after suffering from cancer will be felt keenly by all associated with Everton live

Born on 4 September 1945 in Liverpool, the son of a bricklayer-turned-builder, his own journey was something considerably more dramatic – quite literally live

He took his inspiration from boyhood hero Hickson, saying: “I found a sort of guide – he taught me how to dare live

From my family, I had real protection and comfort and, in mum, a spirit that said I could do anything I wanted to live

”His mother, Hope, who died in 2012 aged 93, remained a huge influence on his life and was famously dragged into Manchester United’s negotiations to sign young academy protege Wayne Rooney live

United’s then-manager Sir Alex Ferguson, recalling the talks in his autobiography, wrote: “Bill Kenwright gets on his phone and he hands it to me and says, ‘It’s my mother, she wants to talk to you’ live

She said: ‘Don’t you dare steal my boy!’ live

”Theatre and acting was Kenwright’s second love and he was on stage at the Liverpool Playhouse by the age of 12, attending the Liverpool Institute high school at the same time as Paul McCartney and George Harrison and touring local pubs and clubs with his RnB band, The Chevrolets live

Bill Kenwright poses with actress Virginia Stride (Hulton Archive)A romantic gamble got him his break as a professional actor as he arrived in Manchester to attend university but instead made a late decision to head to Granada Studios, where a successful walk-in audition set him on the path to becoming a theatre impresario and film producer via a role in Coronation Street as Gordon Clegg live

He went on to work with Tim Rice and Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber on Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita and produced the hit West End show Blood Brothers live

But Everton still pulled at his heartstrings and, after joining the board in 1989, he rose to deputy chairman when he launched a successful takeover with a £20m bid to buy a 68 per cent majority share of the club from Peter Johnson in 1999 live

“I couldn’t think of anyone else who should be taking over the club apart from me,” Kenwright, who became chairman in 2004, said at the time of the takeover live

“More than anything else I’m a fan live

I know more than most people what the guy on the terraces and in the directors’ box would want to see live

”With David Moyes at the helm for 11 years, Kenwright oversaw something of a resurgence, but the arrival of billionaire owners changed the face of live football and he realised he could not compete as the criticism of his reign began to grow live

Kenwright pictured alongside Farhad Moshiri (Getty Images)“A live football club is a trophy asset and you buy a live football club not to make money, believe me, I am living proof of that live

There’s not huge money in the world,” he explained live

He eventually secured billionaire businessman Farhad Moshiri as major shareholder, a bitter-sweet moment as it meant relinquishing power for his beloved club to move forward live

Persuading Moshiri to install Sam Allardyce as manager after sacking Ronald Koeman was Kenwright’s final major, albeit unpopular, decision, but his role as chairman meant he continued to be a regular in the directors’ box at Goodison live

As the club’s fortunes failed to align with their new-found finances, supporter protests started to increase, with Kenwright facing accusations of overseeing two decades of underachievement and decay live

Despite his attempts to engage with fans, the relationship was never the same and in January he was, along with three directors, prevented from attending matches at Goodison because of fan opposition that entailed “threats to safety and security” live

Kenwright is survived by partner Jenny Seagrove and daughter Lucy Kenwright live
