Manchester United came from behind to beat Omonia Nicosia 3-2 in Cyprus.

Despite being clearly the better team, United were wasteful in the first half and were caught on the counter attack, trailing 1-0 at half-time.

Luke Shaw and Marcus Rashford were brought on at the break, with Anthony Martial also later called on by Erik ten Hag.

The substitutions had the desired impact, with Rashford scoring twice and Martial once.

Man of the match v Omonia

Manchester United fans named Marcus Rashford as man of the match v Omonia, in an overwhelming result on an official supporter poll.

Via the club website, Rashford was the clear winner, with Cristiano Ronaldo in second place.

Casemiro, Antony, Bruno Fernandes and David de Gea all scored two per cent or one per cent.

Rashford is United’s top scorer with five goals for the season, and also has a joint team high three assists.

Rashford could have had a hat-trick had he not been so unselfish late in the game to try and set up Cristiano Ronaldo.

He passed the ball to his teammate on a couple of occasions when he could have shot, but Ronaldo was unable to take advantage.

It was a frustrating night for United’s number 7, who remains stuck on 699 club goals, still searching for his 700th.
