Neil Lennon had his Omonia Nicosia side push Manchester United all the way but they have fallen just short in a 3-2 loss.
The former Parkhead manager's side have lost their two opening games in Europa League Group E to FC Sherriff and Real Sociedad, having won just one of their last 26 matches - excluding qualifiers - in major European competition. A huge shock was on the cards against the European giants as Karim Ansarifard scored with the home side's first attempt on goal.
Manchester United had hit their box with a barrage of attacking attempts but Lennon's Nicosia stood firm in front of a packed-out home crowd and left them stunned with a half-time lead. Marcus Rashford rose from the bench to restore parity though and it seemed to shift momentum towards Erik ten Hag's men. Anthony Martial then scored a great solo goal, Rashford adding another before Omonia got one back via Nikolas Panayiotou, but United held on.
