Twitter erupts as Manchester United claim narrow victory over Omonia despite Cristiano Ronaldo putting in an ineffective performance 

Manchester United needed Scott McTominay's injury-time winner to beat Omonia Nicosia 1-0 in the UEFA Europa League, with Cristiano Ronaldo a bystander throughout.

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:

Cristiano Ronaldo quiet on nervy night for Manchester United

Cristiano Ronaldo struggled to break down Omonia

Manchester United survived a huge scare against one of the lowest ranked sides in the Europa League.

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.

Next up for the Red Devils is the visit of Newcastle United in the Premier League on October 16.
