Manchester United weakness almost cost them twice against Omonia Nicosia

Manchester United made their 34th and final attempt count. After a frustrating and often flawed night at Old Trafford, they avoided a Europa League embarrassment by the skin of their teeth once again.

United had to bail themselves out of trouble in Nicosia a week ago, winning 3-2 after going a goal down, and a week later they found it similarly difficult on home turf.

Across two games United have been utterly dominant against what has, in all truth, been average opposition. They've had 62 shots to Omonia's 11. READ MORE: United have discovered their latest undroppable after Omonia win But they've been nowhere near ruthless enough.

At Old Trafford they were a couple of minutes away from a draw that would have damaged their Europa League chances before Scott McTominay saved their blushes.
