Uzoho shines at Old Trafford as United cruise to late victory

Scott Mctominay was the super substitute for Erik Ten Hag manchester united when they beat Omonia Nicosia by a last-minute goal in their Europa League clash at Old Trafford on Thursday night.

Despite the loss, Super Eagles goalkeeper Francis Uzoho put in an impressive performance in his first appearance for his club this season.

He made brilliant saves from the start of the match until he conceded the last minute goal.

Uzoho, who has been a shadow of his former self in previous outings, proved the critics wrong with his astonishing performance during the match.

The Nigerian, in the first half, denied Marcus Rashford a couple of chances on goal.

In the second minute of the match, Uzoho stopped Rashford’s attempt to put the hosts ahead.

Uzoho saved two more Rashford attempts on goal with one similar to the one he conceded against Ghana in the World Cup playoff in Abuja.

Hard as United tried, the first half ended in a sterile draw when Casemiro’s shot hit the woodwork in the 33rd minute and his 45th-minute header went wide.
