Manchester United will welcome Omonia at the GSP Stadium earlier this evening as they looked to secure maximum points on their travels. The Red Devils made an underwhelming start to the game and conceded the opening goal in the 34th minute when Karim Ansarifard found the back of the net for the home team. Man United failed to come up with a response and were trailing 1-0 at half-time.
Marcus Rashford equalised for the Mancunian giants in the 53rd minute before Anthony Martial gave them the lead just ten minutes later. Rashford scored again in the 84th minute before Nikolas Panayiotou pulled a goal back for Omonia. However, the contest ended with Erik ten Hag’s men earning a hard-fought 3-2 win away from home in the UEFA Europa League.
