Match Report

Scott McTominay struck deep in stoppage time as Man Utd kept their hopes of winning their Europa League group alive with a late 1-0 win over Omonia Nicosia.

Omonia arrived in Manchester having lost five of their last seven matches, including last Thursday's 3-2 defeat to United, but produced a defiant, heroic stand, epitomised by inspired goalkeeper Francis Uzoho, as Neil Lennon's side came within seconds of leaving Old Trafford with the unlikeliest of points.

Having seen Uzoho thwart efforts from Marcus Rashford, Antony and Cristiano Ronaldo, and Casemiro rattle the crossbar, United erased a frustrating evening in front of goal when McTominay finally found the breakthrough with their 33rd attempt on goal.

United stay second in Europa League Group E, three points behind leaders Real Sociedad, but know victory in their final two matches will see them progress into the round-of-16 as group winners without having to face a side demoted from the Champions League in a play-off.

What's next?

Manchester United host Newcastle in the Premier League on Sunday at 2pm, before hosting Tottenham in the Premier League on Wednesday at 8.15pm.
