Manchester United squeezed past a resilient Kobenhavn side in the Champions League on Tuesday night, winning 1-0 thanks to a Harry Maguire header in the second half and a desperately late Andre Onana penalty save.

Roberto De Zerbi is in a far more comfortable position at the helm of Brighton but was incensed by the "two hours" he lost to a meeting with the PGMOL's chief refereeing officer after the Seagulls found themselves on the end of an incorrect VAR decision in February. There was no face-to-face when the PGMOL apologised to Brighton for another error against Tottenham last weekend and Cooper came out of Nottingham Forest's 2-0 defeat to Manchester United on Sunday fearing a phone call from Webb.
