Omonia goalkeeper Francis Uzoho had the game of his life on Thursday, and one he will cherish as he is a lifelong United fan. He made numerous saves throughout the first half as the Red Devils kept shooting with no luck at his goal. Marcus Rashford went close in the 22nd minute when he was played in on goal by Cristiano Ronaldo. The English forward could only fire at Uzoho, who made himself big by closing down the space. Casemiro then rattled the crossbar with a thunderstrike in the 33rd minute, with United unable to break down Omonia's stern defense. Omonia stood firm in blocking out the Red Devils' onslaught throughout the match. Uzoho then pulled off a spectacular double save in the 47th minute to deny Antony and Rashford. It looked like being one of those nights for United as they just couldn't find the killer instinct to get on the scoresheet. Rashford used his pace to trouble the Omonia defense and Uzoho was always there to save the day. He denied the Englishman once again in the 60th minute. The Cypriot minnows had just three shots all game against Manchester United's 34. It seemed as if United would have to settle for a dreadful 0-0 draw before substitute Scott McTominay popped up with a vital winner in the 93rd minute. The Scottish midfielder found the ball eight yards outside goal after it pinballed inside the box courtesy of Jadon Sancho's shot. He made no mistake in converting the chance to give United the much-needed goal. United fans will be breathing a deep sigh of relief and here are some reactions from fans on Twitter on a night where the Red Devils clinched a last-gasp win: Squawka News@SquawkaNewsManchester United after 80 minutes vs Omonia Nicosia:30 shots20 shots inside the box10 shots on target7 big chances3.44 xG7725Manchester United after 80 minutes vs Omonia Nicosia:30 shots20 shots inside the box10 shots on target7 big chances3.44 xG https://t.co/8FQrKAsGr2 ODDSbible@ODDSbibleOmonia's goalkeeper Francis Uzoho tonight54455Omonia's goalkeeper Francis Uzoho tonight https://t.co/VKLmdFdgV4 Murtaza@MurtazaUnitedCasemiro really thought its Modric who’ll put the shot in, naa bro this is Bruno G, he shoots to the moon988Casemiro really thought its Modric who’ll put the shot in, naa bro this is Bruno G, he shoots to the moon Michael Barton@mrmichaelbartonScott McTominay going into his post match interview 264Scott McTominay going into his post match interview https://t.co/hLoz9uoL2Z UEFA Europa League@EuropaLeagueScott McTominay 1664164Scott McTominay Breezy@BreezyUTDThis keeper is supposed to be a United fan what is he doing18610This keeper is supposed to be a United fan what is he doing FootballJOE@FootballJOERegardless of how this game finishes, this will be a game Francis Uzoho will never forget, what a performance44442Regardless of how this game finishes, this will be a game Francis Uzoho will never forget, what a performance https://t.co/DM5pzk6QSE Trey@UTDTreyWhen it was time to help Nigeria get to the World Cup he made a mistake and caused us our place, now acting like Superman today.

Omonia's effort was brave and Uzoho has given his transfer fee a huge increase off the back of a spectacular display. However, there is cause for concern in the form of Cristiano Ronaldo, who was barely involved throughout the match. The Portuguese had seven shots, with two of those being on target. He also had 32 touches of the ball and failed to impress. Manchester United remain second in Group E, trailing leaders Real Sociedad by three points.
