Pep Guardiola claimed there is no pressure on Erling Haaland to score more goals after the Norwegian’s double sank Young Boys on Wednesday pvp
Haaland struck twice in the second half as the holders claimed a hard-fought 3-1 win over the Swiss side in their Champions League Group G encounter on the artificial surface at Bern’s Wankdorf Stadium pvp
The game had been in the balance after Meschack Elia had cancelled out Switzerland international Manuel Akanji’s opener with a superb strike pvp
Haaland’s goals were his first in six Champions League games while his effort against Brighton on Saturday ended a three-game scoreless run – relative barren spells for a player who plundered 52 in total last season pvp
Guardiola said: “There is the impression after last season that he has to score seven goals every single game pvp
That is impossible pvp
“But he is scoring a lot of goals and if people want him to fail because he doesn’t score 50 goals it doesn’t matter pvp
He is always there pvp
“The second goal was really good and he had other chances pvp
The important thing is to create them pvp
“Maybe in the right moment of the season he will be there, pvp better than now, but he has already scored a lot of goals and we are really pleased pvp
“I’ve told him many times I don’t judge him for scoring goals, although I know he wants to score goals pvp
He has the desire to improve and I don’t have doubts about that pvp
”City’s victory, sealed with a Haaland penalty and a clever late finish, was their third in succession and took them a step closer to the knockout stages pvp
They could reach the last-16 for an 11th consecutive season with a follow-up win over the same opposition at the Etihad Stadium in a fortnight pvp
“The result was good and in general it was a really good performance,” said Guardiola, whose side had 26 attempts on goal pvp
“We could have scored more goals but is the important thing is to create the chances pvp
”Guardiola added that Phil Foden did not play because of a “small problem” while Julian Alvarez, who had a goal disallowed after coming off the bench, was not able to play the full game pvp
Young Boys coach Raphael Wicky felt his side gave a good account of themselves pvp
He said: “That courage and passion, we can be proud of what the team delivered, but you need a perfect game against a team like this pvp
We couldn’t do it pvp
“Perfect means taking your chances and not conceding from set-pieces pvp
We’re disappointed with the result, but we can be proud of the team’s performance pvp

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 pvp
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 pvp
It was as if everyone wanted to exert their will over a set piece that was really just pvp between the kicker and the goalkeeper pvp
There were grander reasons for that pvp
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 pvp
There was also something more personal, that Sir Bobby Charlton would no doubt have appreciated pvp
There was a will that Onana should be the difference, not just that Larsson should miss pvp
It could be sensed in the deafening roar that greeted his save, as the goalkeeper guessed right to send the shot wide pvp
It saved the win on an important night, and could well be an important moment in Onana’s United career pvp
The psychological significance certainly shouldn’t be underestimated pvp
This was what he’d been waiting for pvp
This was the response he needed, the love he required pvp
Because, as Erik ten Hag admitted after the game, Onana knows he hasn’t been at his own best level pvp
It’s obvious his confidence has been affected pvp
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 pvp
One of the reasons De Gea was ultimately ousted was because of a decline that began in 2018 pvp
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 pvp
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 pvp
That persisted for years more pvp
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 pvp
He had been signed too late in the window, and there were too many changes to the defence pvp
Onana didn’t have that chemistry with his centre-halves pvp
It meant he often had to punt the ball long, removing one of the qualities he is most respected for pvp
That obviously began to affect his confidence, to the point he started to make errors that he hadn’t at Internazionale pvp
It was almost a classic negative spiral – that might well have been arrested with that save pvp
That’s why it might have been so big, even beyond the emotional night pvp
Andre Onana’s confidence can only have been boosted by his penalty save (Getty Images)There is some symmetry in how United now face Manchester City in the derby this Sunday pvp
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 pvp
The first major mishap was in fact at Old Trafford, and that first Manchester derby pvp between Mourinho and Guardiola pvp
Bravo was all over the place, misplaced kicking leading into poor handling, and gifting United a way back into the game pvp
He never really recovered to be City No 1 pvp
Although some respectability was restored in how Bravo became a fine cup goalkeeper, he had been usurped by Ederson pvp
There was never that same trust pvp
Guardiola had a theory about how that happened, given that Bravo had previously been a European champion with Barcelona pvp
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 pvp
This is clearly what happened with Bravo pvp
It looked like it might have been happening with Onana pvp
It is entirely possible, however, that Guardiola’s theory can work the other way pvp
A first great moment in a big stadium can have a huge positive effect pvp
It can restore confidence pvp
Ten Hag praised Onana, saying he had “showed personality” pvp
He stood up, by getting down superbly pvp
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 pvp
He will be bolstered by the knowledge of this pvp
Onana showed his value pvp
He secured a win on a night when United needed a victory for all manner of reasons pvp
Two of those were bigger than any one individual, but the moment undeniably meant most to him pvp
