Omonia vs Man United

Minute-by-minute report: Will United bounce back after their derby humiliation or can Omonia spring a surprise? Join Barry Glendenning.

Having defended heroically, ridden their luck a little and barely got the ball out of their own penalty area, let alone their own half, on more than a few occasions in the first half, Omonia Nicosia lead courtesy of an excellent goal scored on the break by Karim Ansarifard. Oh to be a fly on the wall in the Manchester United dressing-room … He curls his shot high and wide of the far post. There’s a long way to go but they’re staring down the barrel of what would could be total humiliation. 90 min: Their tails up, Omonia plug on in search of an equaliser but get caught on the break. 65 min: It’s a deft piece of improvised backheeled inspiration from Marcus Rashford, who plays the ball into his fellow substitute’s path. Omonia are bottom of the group and yet to get off the board. 90+3 min: Ronaldo sprints into the Omonia penalty area with the ball at his feet. “We started well, couple of chances and then an unecessary goal from a couple of mistakes that cannot happen,” the Manchester United boss tells BT Sport. We made positive changes at half-time and got back into the game.” “I wouldn’t say that we defended bad but it was just mistakes and they happen in football, so you just have to move on.” Europa League: Erik ten Hag applied a desperately required change to save Manchester United from a second humiliation in four days,” writes Jamie Jackson from the GSP Stadium.

We’ve both been injured, him longer than me, so it is good for him to get minutes and make an impact.” Then when he [Ten Hag] made the subs he wanted us to be more dynamic, take chances going forward and score goals.” You let the crowd get alive, you have to avoid that,” the United boss told BT Sport. “And to score two goals against them was probably more than I could have imagined... The subs really had an impact today.” We didn’t defend badly, but we made mistakes,” United’s ‘super-sub’ told BT Sport. Rashford’s second effort six minutes from time looked to have put the game beyond Omonia, only for Nikolas Panayiotou to score a second for Neil Lennon’s plucky side mere seconds later.

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 made hard work of their long Europa League trip to Cyprus in midweek as Erik ten Hag's side narrowly beat 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.
