Unconvincing Man Utd limped over the line against Omonia as Erik ten Hag plea ignored

If Erik ten Hag was looking for a response after Manchester United's derby mauling, he failed to get it here.

United limped to victory against Neil Lennon's Cypriot minnows, hanging onto their slender lead at the end and just managing to make it over the line. Although Ten Hag's changes ultimately paid off, with substitutes Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial plundering the goals to turn the game in United's favour, it was unconvincing from the visitors.

Ten Hag was alarmed at the ease with which Omonia, who had won just one of their last 27 European ties, scored twice and made United work for a victory that should have been far more straightforward. Having accused his side of lacking belief in the 6-3 derby debacle, United's character was again called into question, until two moments of class from Rashford and Martial.
