Scott McTominay spared Manchester United's blushes, netting a 93rd-minute winner to help them seal a 1-0 win over Omonia Nicosia in the Europa League at Old Trafford on Thursday night.
After peppering the Omonia goal from the very first whistle, United found a way past an inspired Francis Uzoho in the Cypriots' goal with their 33rd attempt. McTominay, who had stepped off the bench just 11 minutes earlier, drilled the ball home from around 10 yards out after Jadon Sancho's deflected cross found its way into his path.
The Scotland international, who is suspended for Sunday's Premier League clash with Newcastle United, made no mistake to ensure Erik ten Hag's side snatched all three points, keeping their hopes of winning Group E alive. The Reds remain three points behind current table-toppers Real Sociedad, who beat Sheriff Tiraspol 3-0.
Unsurprisingly, McTominay's late goal sparked wild scenes in the stands, with the supporters celebrating as though United had just won the Europa League itself, but it was clearly more an outcry of relief. And on social media, United's supporters reacted exactly in the same way.
Below, MEN Sport has taken a close look at what they had to say.

Everyone is the GOAT for Manchester United fans. They just feel that name or term can be used anyone. Little wonder they don’t know who the true GOAT is. 😂

they are players who doesn't take europa league seriously 1. CR7 and Antony say what you wanna say but in epl matches these two players will continue to score but in europa they will because they fill europa as less important than EPL

Since I didn't watch the game as I was busy, the moment my brother walked in, I thought it was either a draw or a defeat. He was quiet at first until he started smiling later. It was one hell of a scare that the game would have been a draw. Congrats Manchester United!
