Manchester United 1-0 Omonia HIGHLIGHTS, Europa League: McTominay late goal helps misfiring United win vs Omonia

Uzoho is absolutley gutted and understandably so.. For the amount of saves that he made, he didn’t get the proper support from his defense. Erik Ten Hag can breathe easy now as United stays second in group E.

GOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLL!!! It’s the super-sub McTominay. Omonia fans are devastated. Sancho did well to shoot as it got deflected straight into McTominay’s boots and he taps in with ease.

Panayiotou gets a yellow for pulling Rashford’s shirt

90 minutes done and Omonia has to defend for another five minutes

United deserves a goal for its sheer dominance but with the amount of chances taken by them, let’s us think otherwise. Just 5 minutes away from a Uzoho cleansheet

Uzoho... it’s like clockwork for him. Subsitute McTominay tried to make immediate impact with a low right shot but Uzoho dives well to avert it

Final substitution for United: Casemiro OUT, McTominay IN

Omonia defense is literally a wall. None of the United attackers can get through. As we speak, Casemiro lets one fly high into the stands

Omonia Nicosia is winless in 17 away games in major European competitions (D3 L14) and has won just two of 36 in total on its travels at this level

Substitutions for Omonia: Bruno OUT, Loizou IN; Charalampous OUT, Papoulis IN

Substitution for United: Fred OUT, Eriksen IN

Corner for United and it is taken quickly by Bruno Fernandez as usual. Dalot finds Ronaldo near the left corner of the goal and the number 7 slots one straight to Uzoho for another corner. Terrific from the keeper

Cassama could be in trouble here as it can well be a red as it was a rash tackle on Casemiro. Cassama barely slips through

Poor effort from Rashford yet again. Bruno Fernandez puts in a perfect cross but Rashford sabotages it

Seems like Matthews has injured his calf and he is taken off the field. Substitution for Omonia: Matthews OUT, Psaltis IN

Substitution for Omonia: Kakoullis OUT, Ansarifard IN

What a lofted ball from Casemiro to a sprinting Ronaldo and he gives it to Bruno Fernandez. He attempts a cross but it is blocked

Substitutions for United: Malacia OUT, Luke Shaw IN; Antony OUT, Jadon Sancho IN

Blunder from Fred leads to Bruno making a wonderful run towards De Gea. He puts on a cross and it goes just wide

Corner for United. Bruno takes it and Uzoho is there to deflect it yet again. What a player!

Kakoullis gets a yellow after pulling Rashford back to stop his counter attack

UZOHOOO! He is just built different! Yet another double save. This time against Ronaldo. One man show here!

UZOHO YOU SUPERMAN! Insane reflexes. Comes in clutch with two quick saves. First from Ronaldo and then reacted well to keep Rashford off the score board. He has now stopped Rashford four times!

The players have made their way into the middle and Bruno will start for Omonia

On any other night, United would’ve been in the lead by atleast three goals but this has been that kind of an outing. The Red Devils squandered quite a few chances, with Casemiro’s finding the crossbar rubbing salt to the wound. Ten Hag will have a serious discussion with the United attack as they should have done much better than this. Omonia on the other hand, had its only chance to take the lead but Bruno’s mistake meant we go into half time goalless

Charalampous gifts a freekick for United as he brings down Rashford with a mindless tackle. Bruno Fernandez takes it and finds Casemiro with a beautiful lob but Case heads it wide

CHANCE!! Charalampous with a brilliant through ball to Bruno, he dribbles well but he tried a selfish shot in a situation where he should have passed to Cassama who as unmarked on the right. Could’ve been disastrous for the Red Devils

CHANCE! Fred gets it all wrong. Antony to Martinez and he produces a good lofted cross to find Fred but he heads it well wide. Should’ve done better

CHANCE! A brilliant link-up play from Rashford and Malacia and the latter finds Ronaldo via a cross but the Portugese international hits it wide..

Crossbar rattled! Casemiro, well outside the 16-yard box, comes up with a powerful shot racing towards the goal but Uzoho gets a faint touch and that does the tirick

SO CLOSE! Ronaldo does well to turn and slot a right footed curler but it teases the goal post

Cristiano Ronaldo attempted eight shots in the reverse fixture but failed to score. This is his most attempts without scoring in a European encounter since November 2019 for Juventus vs Lokomotiv Moscow (also 8).

Fred with an amazing through ball, looks like it is a tad bit fast for Ronaldo but he gets there eventually to slot a cross. Rashford receives it yet again and tries a low right corner shot and Uzoho dives to deflect the ball. He’s been the most impressive Omonia player so far

Rashford at it yet again and fails one more time. He did well to outrun Miletic and was dangerously close to the goal but his shot gets blocked by Lang

SUPERB SAVE! Uzoho with a crucial save off Rashford. Ronaldo with an inch perfect pass but it goes in vein as Rashford’s shot is weak

Magical piece of dribble from Bruno Fernandez, he blazes past two defenders to find Ronaldo and he further finds Dalot but the attac wears out. United has been agressive right from the get go

Quick one-twos from United and the ball ends up with Antony, he attempts for a lofted cross but it is cleared by the Omonia defense

Manchester United has lost its last two home matches in Europe, versus Atlético de Madrid and Real Sociedad. The Red Devils have never lost three in a row at Old Trafford in European competition. Will that change today?

Dalot escapes a yellow as he brings down Bruno from the back with a sliding tackle. Freekick for Omonia. Bruno takes it, tries a cross, finds his namesake on the opposition who slots the ball away for a Omonia corner. Taken quickly and Bruno Fernandez is there again to kick it out of danger

Malacia finds Rashford wide on the left and the ball is back to Malacia. He gives it to Rashford in the penalty box, he stops and tries a curler but it gets deflected for a United corner.

CHANCE! Ronaldo’s right footed low ball brushes the back of Omonia goal post

On the left, Rashford to Malacia and a good link up to Ronaldo. He finds Dalot on the right and the passage of play changes. Dalot looking for Rashford, puts in a cross but he’s overhit it. Goes for a goal kick

Fred gives away a freekick for Omonia but nothing major happens

Corner taken quickly and Rashford is there to receive. He tries an ambitious curl that tests Panagi’s stopping skills but he reaches there in time to punch it away. United looking relentless

An attack brewing on the right flank. Antony to Dalot on the extreme right and the ball is back with Antony who finds Fred. He dishes out an erratic shot that gets deflected away for a United Corner.

Ronaldo starts the proceedings for United. The Reds will look for a win that will almost guarentee them a place in the Europa knockouts

Ronaldo scored his 700th club career goal in Manchester United’s 2-1 win against Everton at the Goodison Park. His goal in the 44th minute of the game was enough for the Red Devils to secure the win.

The players have lined up in the tunnel and are ready to take the field. We are just minutes away from the game!

Erik ten Hag is awaiting an update on the fitness of Anthony Martial, who departed the 2-1 victory over Everton after 29 minutes due to a back problem. It’s another frustrating setback for the Frenchman this term, with our no.9 having been restricted to just four appearances so far due to injury.

Raphael Varane returned from his foot issue in the latter stages at Goodison Park, but Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Harry Maguire are yet to appear since the international break, while Donny van de Beek has been training individually at Carrington as he looks to get back into contention after a month on the sidelines.

Placed second in group E, Manchester United will host Omonoia in the UEFA Eropa League group stage at the Old Trafford in Manchester on Friday.

United, coming from a 2-1 win against Lampard’s Everton, will be the clear favourites in this tie. Cristiano Ronaldo, who found his rhythm at Goodison Park, will be the player to look forward. But Erik Ten Hag in the recent past has not included Portugese veteran that often in the starting 11.

Omonoia meanwhile, which competes in the Cypriot first division league, suffered a 0-1 loss against AEL.

It is full-time Aspmyra Stadion and Arsenal scrapes 1-0 through against Bodo/Glimt and has moved top of group A

Manchester United overcame an early deficit to beat Omonia Nicosia 3-2 in the Europa League and begin the healing process after a humiliating derby loss in the Premier League.

Seeking some respite in Cyprus following a 6-3 loss at Manchester City, United fell behind to a goal on the counterattack by Iran striker Karim Ansarifard in the 34th minute.

Second-half substitutes made the difference for United. Marcus Rashford equalized in the 53rd with a curling shot from just inside the area before he produced a deft flick to fellow replacement Anthony Martial, who cut inside and shot low inside the near post in the 63rd.

Arsenal is leading Bodo/Glimt 1-0. Seven minutes remaining

The two teams met for the first time last week in the Europa League and United beat Omonia 3-2.

Manchester United XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea, Dalot, Lindelof, Martinez, Malacia, Fernandes (C), Casemiro, Fred, Antony, Ronaldo, Rashford

O monoia XI (3-4-3):Panagi; Miletic, Lang, Yuste; Matthews, Charalampous, Diskerud, Lecjaks; Loizou, Ansarifard, Bruno
