Manchester United avoided defeat against Omonia Nicosia in Cyprus thanks to goals scored by substitutes Marcus Rashford (who had two goals) and Antony Martial (who also had a goal), who helped the team come from behind to win.

Antony's decision to attempt a pass, rather than shoot or round the goalkeeper, when he was through on goal was the most egregious of United's missed opportunities in the first quarter of the game. United missed multiple glorious opportunities in the first quarter of the game.

The away team was made to pay the price for their lack of efficiency in front of the net as they allowed Omonia to score on a slick counterattacking goal in the 34th minute of the match. Omonia scored with their first shot of the game. Bruno Felipe did the legwork before playing in strike partner Karim Ansarifard, who sprung United's offside trap and provided the precise finish by beating David De Gea. Bruno Felipe was the player of the game.

Rashford, who entered the game at halftime, equalized the score with a magnificent finish from outside the penalty area six minutes after he was brought on. Prior to that, he assisted strike partner Anthony Martial, who also scored a magnificent goal within two minutes of entering the game.

Rashford grabbed another from point-blank range to add a third goal for United from Cristiano Ronaldo's pulled effort across goal. This happened before Nikolas Panagiotou set up a grandstand finish with a well-timed finish from another counter-attack by the home team. However, United came out on top, and the following are five things that stood out during an action-packed evening in Nicosia:
