Slowly, United started winning the middle.
Demien changed where he received. Instead of always dropping beside the center-backs, he started standing just behind Goretzka's line of pressure. Mainoo dropped deeper on a few possessions, which forced Musiala to decide whether to go with him.
When Musiala followed Mainoo, Varane found Demien.
Kimmich stepped out immediately.
Demien laid it into Bruno and kept running.
Bruno gave it back first time.
Kimmich was now behind him.

Højlund was already starting his run between Upamecano and Kim. Demien slid the pass through the gap before Bayern could close it.
Højlund got there.
Neuer came rushing off his line.
Højlund shot low.
Neuer spread himself and blocked it with his legs.
Old Trafford rose and groaned in the same second.

Demien pointed at Højlund as he jogged back. Good run.
