Neil Lennon rues Manchester United agony as he dips into Celtic playbook to inspire new 'Great Wall'

Gutted Neil Lennon rued a missed Europa League brush with history as gutsy Omonia Nicosia were denied by last-gasp Manchester United hero Scott McTominay.

However, the Irishman waxed lyrical about spectacular keeper Francis Uzoho. The 23-year-old Omonia deputy is a lifelong United fan and produced an incredible display.

Lennon knows all about goalkeeping heroics, of course, Fraser Forster was dubbed the 'Great Wall' by the Spanish press when he repelled Lionel Messi and Co back in 2012 - and Lennon used that game for inspiration before the match.

Manchester United recorded 33 shots and the brilliant Uzoho was up to the challenge as he left Cristiano Ronaldo, Marcus Rashford and Casemiro open-jawed by the string of remarkable saves the Nigerian was pulling off.
