Cristiano Ronaldo fury and four other moments missed in Manchester United win vs Omonia Nicosia
Manchester United were made to sweat more than they would have liked in their 3-2 Europa League win over Omonia Nicosia.
After going into the break 1-0 down, substitutes Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford turned the game on its head. The latter brought the game level eight minutes after his half-time entrance before teeing up Martial to hit home his first of the season 10 minutes later.
Another goal from Rashford six minutes from time ultimately earned United the win, although the visitors conceded another less than 60 seconds later to set up a nervy ending. But United held on to go second in the group on six points.

In the first-half Dalot was pushing forward as often as he could, underlapping Antony. At one stage, though, the Brazilian instructed Dalot to stay in position when the ball was in transition, allowing for more coverage to avoid a potential break.

While United dominated the play and still carried out this tactic for most of the match, the away side’s best spells came when both full-backs didn’t push as high.
