Scott McTominay finally beats inspired Francis Uzoho with last-minute winner for Man United

In a tweet posted on the day this Europa League group was drawn, Omonia Nicosia’s back-up goalkeeper Francis Uzoho vowed to “for sure die for that post” should he somehow get the chance to play at the home of the club he has supported since a boy. He did get that chance, and did just about everything in his power to deny Manchester United. He did, for 93 minutes. He spent the 94th laid out on his back in despair.

Scott McTominay’s winner at the death, from his side’s 33rd shot on Uzoho’s goal, prevented the seventh-best team in Cyprus last season from taking a historic point at Old Trafford. It avoided one of the more ignominious results in United’s storied European history and put Erik ten Hag’s side all but through to the knock-out stages. A point at home to Sheriff Tiraspol in fortnight’s time will be enough to progress.

This was a long night for United, one which saw Ten Hag’s players grow visibly desperate as it dragged on. Countless chances went begging. For all Uzoho’s brilliance, his goal led a charmed life at times too. Omonia’s resistance was eventually broken by a neat turn from substitute Jadon Sancho, in a cameo that may ignite his stalling Old Trafford career, and McTominay’s drive past the poor goalkeeper.
