What Francis Uzoho said to Erik ten Hag after Manchester United fixture

Omonia Nicosia goalkeeper Francis Uzoho asked Erik ten Hag for a photo following his heroic performance in the Cypriot's narrow 1-0 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford in the Europa League on Thursday evening.

Starting in goal in place of the injured Fabiano, who started last week's meeting between the two clubs in Cyprus, Uzoho produced an outstanding performance between the sticks, pulling off a string of fine saves. He looked like being the difference between United getting one point and all three, only for Scott McTominay to net a stoppage time winner.

The Nigerian international, who represented his county at the 2018 World Cup, pulled off a plethora of outstanding stops, denying the likes of Marcus Rashford and Casemiro in the first half, before producing an excellent double save right at the start of the second 45, keeping out efforts from Antony and Rashford. It was a truly stunning performance.
