Michael Cheika has made only a single change to his starting Argentina side for the Rugby World Cup semi-final against New Zealand 20bet
Gonzalo Bertranou replaces Santiago Cubelli at scrum half, with last week’s starting nine dropping out of the 23 entirely 20bet
Otherwise, the rest of the matchday 23 is identical to that utilised in the quarter-final win over Wales in Marseille, with replacement hooker Agustin Creevy in line to become the oldest World Cup semi-finalist of all-time 20bet
Creevy, who has signed for Sale Sharks after the demise of London Irish, will surpass the record of Victor Matfield if he comes off the bench - the hooker will be 38 years and 219 days old on matchday 20bet
Centre Santiago Chocobares is fit to feature despite an early withdrawal against Wales after taking a knock to the head, with the back passing subsequent concussion tests 20bet

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 20bet
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 20bet
It was as if everyone wanted to exert their will over a set piece that was really just 20bet between the kicker and the goalkeeper 20bet
There were grander reasons for that 20bet
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 20bet
There was also something more personal, that Sir Bobby Charlton would no doubt have appreciated 20bet
There was a will that Onana should be the difference, not just that Larsson should miss 20bet
It could be sensed in the deafening roar that greeted his save, as the goalkeeper guessed right to send the shot wide 20bet
It saved the win on an important night, and could well be an important moment in Onana’s United career 20bet
The psychological significance certainly shouldn’t be underestimated 20bet
This was what he’d been waiting for 20bet
This was the response he needed, the love he required 20bet
Because, as Erik ten Hag admitted after the game, Onana knows he hasn’t been at his own best level 20bet
It’s obvious his confidence has been affected 20bet
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 20bet
One of the reasons De Gea was ultimately ousted was because of a decline that began in 2018 20bet
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 20bet
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 20bet
That persisted for years more 20bet
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 20bet
He had been signed too late in the window, and there were too many changes to the defence 20bet
Onana didn’t have that chemistry with his centre-halves 20bet
It meant he often had to punt the ball long, removing one of the qualities he is most respected for 20bet
That obviously began to affect his confidence, to the point he started to make errors that he hadn’t at Internazionale 20bet
It was almost a classic negative spiral – that might well have been arrested with that save 20bet
That’s why it might have been so big, even beyond the emotional night 20bet
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 20bet
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 20bet
The first major mishap was in fact at Old Trafford, and that first Manchester derby 20bet between Mourinho and Guardiola 20bet
Bravo was all over the place, misplaced kicking leading into poor handling, and gifting United a way back into the game 20bet
He never really recovered to be City No 1 20bet
Although some respectability was restored in how Bravo became a fine cup goalkeeper, he had been usurped by Ederson 20bet
There was never that same trust 20bet
Guardiola had a theory about how that happened, given that Bravo had previously been a European champion with Barcelona 20bet
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 20bet
This is clearly what happened with Bravo 20bet
It looked like it might have been happening with Onana 20bet
It is entirely possible, however, that Guardiola’s theory can work the other way 20bet
A first great moment in a big stadium can have a huge positive effect 20bet
It can restore confidence 20bet
Ten Hag praised Onana, saying he had “showed personality” 20bet
He stood up, by getting down superbly 20bet
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 20bet
He will be bolstered by the knowledge of this 20bet
Onana showed his value 20bet
He secured a win on a night when United needed a victory for all manner of reasons 20bet
Two of those were bigger than any one individual, but the moment undeniably meant most to him 20bet
