Omonia vs Man United

Manchester United make the long Europa League trip to Cyprus in midweek as Erik ten Hag's side take on Neil Lennon's Omonia Nicosia.

Omonia Nicosia play host to Manchester United at the Tsirio Stadium in Limassol, Cyprus. The ground is slowly filling up with Omonia supporters eager not to miss the opportunity for their team to take on one of the biggest clubs in world football. 14th min: Ronaldo goes up for a header and Héctor Yuste accidentally collides with him in the air. 43rd min: A ball is lofted over the top to Ronaldo but he can't control it and Fabinho gathers. Erik Ten Hag left him out of the 6-3 drubbing to City, saying he didn't call him off the bench "out of respect." But he decides to be unselfish and square it back to Fernandes as the goalkeeper came rushing it out but his pass is behind his teammate. He picks up the ball in the box, turns his man like he's not even there, and then attempts a cheeky toe poke into the goal but it's blocked. He hit the post from six yards out when it seemed harder to miss, he blasted a free-kick over the bar, found the side netting and curled one a few inches wide of the post in the dying minutes. Manchester United came from a goal down to beat Omonia in Europa League action as substitutes Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial came to Erik ten Hag's rescue with the goals. Bruno Felipe picked the ball up and ran, and with United outnumbered, he played the perfect pass to Karim Ansarifard who took a touch and rifled his shot past De Get. 48th min: Plenty of United possession in the final third so far but it's not quite clicking. United are caught sleeping at the back and Panayiotou converts a cross from close range past De Gea.

United does not take long to win the ball and take control. The ball is long and goes out of play. The attempts starts to dip but a moment too late and only hits the crossbar. Antony is in the centre of the field and plays a pass to Malacia on the left wing. The referee blows the half-time whistle and the Omonia to everyone’s surprise is in the lead at the half-way mark. The foward takes the ball to his left foot and crosses but the Argentine is not fooled and blocks the cross. The left-back’s cross takes a deflection but still manages to creep through to the six-yard box where Ronaldo’s jump is mistimed. Antony fires a cross from the right flank but the Omonia defence is able to clear it out. The forward takes the ball forward and as the defender moves to follow him, he turns back and cuts the ball to his right. The Frenchman passes to Ronaldo who is absolutely unmarked but he is too slow to take the shot and an Omonia player comes in with a block to take the ball away from him. The Portuguese and Martial work the ball with a neat one-two move. The second win for United takes it to six points from three games and cements its place in the second place.

Manchester United had to overturn a half-time deficit to beat Omonia Nicosia on Thursday evening, in our first-ever match against Cypriot opposition.

And in front of goal, Rashford was back to his relaxed, composed best. Brazilian duo Casemiro and Antony trailed in joint-fourth. But fans clearly responded to Ronaldo's work-rate and desire.

Manchester United came from behind to beat Onomia Nicosia 3-2 in our latest Group E Europa League clash. The Reds dominated the game, but it was the hosts ...

He swapped passes with Ronaldo whose low and hard drive into the box was met by Rashford at the back post who tapped home. And that began with a double substitution that saw Rashford and Luke Shaw enter the fray. A counterattack lead by the charging run of Bruno saw him play in Ansarifard, whose effort was thumped beyond David De Gea at his near post. Ten minutes later, just moments after his introduction, Martial completed the comeback for United. Our no.7 also linked up well with Bruno Fernandes and Antony to set up the skipper, who saw his effort bounce off the bar. Rashford completed his brace minutes before the end, despite a late goal from Panayiotou to keep Omonia in it.

How the Man Utd players rated as Erik ten Hag's side came back from 1-0 down to win 3-2 in the Europa League fixture.

Picked a strong team and was let down by complacent play in the final third. Came on and scored again to put United ahead. Tapped in to kill the game. Drew a good save from Fabiano and engineered the gap for Marcus Rashford to score but snatched at some chances. Fortunate to start and had an air of frivolousness on the ball. Sloppy before and after the goal and his role in it sparked the breakaway Omonia scored from.
