Manchester United were dreadful in the first half and better but still bad thereafter, rescued by two maligned players who should enjoy their resurgences.
The problem with turning points is hinted at in the phrase itself. A single “turning point”, as Erik ten Hag forlornly hoped Manchester United’s last-gasp win over Brentford was two and a half weeks ago, denotes a change in direction, a fork in the road, a watershed moment upon which a previously aimless journey is given purpose, structure, order. You were going the wrong way before, but no longer.
Before their interventions, this was as miserable a performance as had been conjured under Ten Hag. In the pantheon of post-Ferguson Manchester United Champions League nights, that first half was not far off Demba Ba breaching the world’s worst offside trap in Turkey, or Nick Powell coming on as the saviour against Wolfsburg. It was that bad.
The introduction of Eriksen sparked an improvement. One lovely move ended in the Dane forcing a fine save from Kamil Grabara.
As did Onana, who produced one fine save from Lukas Lerager and then kept Jordan Larsson, son of Henrik, out from 12 yards when Manchester United characteristically aimed the gun at their own toes when victory was within grasp.is probably over for as long as he insists on being non-existent until conceding penalties roughly as often as he proves an unlikely source of goals, but Maguire and Onana can bask in their personal resurgences for now.
