Some reaction from Rashford

"It's job done but we would have liked to have played better. I wouldn't say that we defended badly, it was just mistakes. Mistakes happen in football so we have to move on.

"I think until they scored, we were playing well. We had good movement, we could have probably just got in behind them a bit more and had a bigger threat on goal. But I thought we played well. (The manager) wanted us to be a bit more dynamic, take more chances going forward and try to score. It was positive at half-time and we made positive changes."

Rashford was then asked about how he found it playing on the left: "I can play both; I think probably that left side is a bit more natural for me. But I enjoy just helping the team.

"We just need to tidy up the mistakes and we'll be fine," he added.

Some things never change

United sure needed those subs to make an impact tonight and they did!

Man Utd's last 5 competitive goals have come via substitutes. ️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️

This is a club record in the Premier League era, beating the previous record of four in a row from Feb 1999, when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer scored four as a sub in the 8-1 PL win over Nottm Forest. #MUFC

Martinez vital again for United

He's done exactly what Ten Hag brought him to do during his time at United this season.

FT: United avoid a scare in Cyprus!

90+4' Omonia 2-3 Manchester United

They were 1-0 down at half-time but Ten Hag's substitutes changed the game tonight and Martial and Rashford took control of the second half to mount the comeback.

It's not Ronaldo's night

90+3' Omonia 2-3 Manchester United

He has had plenty of opportunities tonight but it isn't going his way at all. He should have at least three goals!

OMONIA PULL ONE BACK!

85' Omonia 2-3 Manchester United

What a finish! Nikolas Panayiotou scores his first-ever European goal with a tidy strike past De Gea. Could this be a nervy final five minutes for Man United?

GOAL! Rashford has his second

84' Omonia 1-3 Manchester United

And surely that will be that! Ronaldo gets the assist and Rashford puts the game to bed. Two goals and an assist for Rashford in this second half!

Ronaldo off the post!

He cannot believe how that didn't go in! Dalot sets him up and he won't have an easier opportunity to score his 700th club goal. The wait goes on...

Smooth goal. Rashford flick to Martinez pass invited Martial to cut inside + shoot.

Three goals in 77 minutes of football for Martial this season at that point.#MUFC

GOAL! Martial puts United in the lead

62' Omonia 1-2 Manchester United

He's only been on for two minutes! But it's another substitute who scores for United. Martial tucks it brilliantly into the bottom left corner after cutting onto his right foot.

A little over half an hour to go

58' Omonia 1-1 Manchester United

United have looked more like themselves after scoring the equaliser but are still lacking the intensity Ten Hag craves. To be fair to Omonia, they aren't letting the visitors play and are frustrating the Premier League side.

Rashford equalises!

53' Omonia 1-1 Manchester United

Just seven minutes after coming on, Rashford gets United level. It was a cracking strike from outside the box into the bottom right corner.
