Manchester United could and should have scored many goals before Scott McTominay's last-gasp blush-sparer against Omonia. They weren't *that* bad. But they didn't deliver the snappy performance Erik ten Hag demanded either.
Omonia reserve keeper Uzoho steals the show despite sloppy Manchester United’s spoilsport late winner
By that point, something should have flown in by pure chance. It’s not like United took 34 long-range, low-percentage pot-shots either. Marcus Rashford – who had 10 attempts on goal all by himself – will we suspect never quite get to the bottom of how he didn’t get on the scoresheet. There was no denying that Uzoho was the story of the night, especially when he could still be seen grinning from ear to ear while accepting the United players’ congratulations – far less grudging than they might have been a few minutes earlier – butwhen, still visibly delighted, he gave a post-match interview that gleefully and magnificently defied all the po-faced “ah look it’s nice to score but the main thing is the three points” conventional drudgery of the form.
So silly did this get that studio guest Paul Scholes was forced to go ludicrously far the other way and insist none of Uzoho’s saves were anything special, ratcheting up the northern grumpiness to impressive levels and at one point appearing to come within a gnat’s hair of issuing a full Roy Keane “That’s his job!”. BT then, to their enormous credit, forced Scholes to deny the excellence of each save in voiceover on top of a montage – a lengthy montage – of Uzoho’s evening.
