Manchester United ratings at Omonia: Rashford 9, Martial 8, Sancho 5

Subs Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial to the rescue in Nicosia

• 

  MANCHESTER UNITED RATINGS: David de Gea 6 - His side enjoyed 76 per cent possession in the first half, but Omonia had one shot on target in the first 45 and scored. Quiet night. AFP

• 

  Diogo Dalot 6 - Usually extremely advanced, yet he was also the man to clear Omonia’s first-half attack on 33 minutes. Superb in setting up a 77th-minute attack. Reuters

• 

  Victor Lindelof 6 - In for the injured Varane. Passes accurately, but not as involved as Martinez. Gap between him and Dalot exploited for Omonia’s second. Getty

• 

  Lisandro Martinez 7 - Headed over on 16. Body-checked Omonia’s Bruno before half-time. When he loses the ball or a challenge, he gives everything to win it back. Didn’t look assured at times, yet at others played Carrick-style balls forward through the Omonia lines. More touches than any player on the pitch. Booked. AFP

• 

  Tyrell Malacia 5 - Very advanced as United dominated possession, but he was the last man when he lost the ball and three Omonia players attacked and scored. Brought off at half-time for the second time in a bad week for him. AFP

• 

  Casemiro 7 - Won every aerial ball – all eight of them. Back-heeled to Ronaldo on 12. Chased the move before Omonia’s goal, but didn’t chase hard enough. Nutmegged on 45. Easing his way in. AFP

• 

  Christian Eriksen 7 - Shot into a crowd of players after United went behind when a pass would have been better. Tried, in vain, to get back for the opening goal, which he’d contributed to conceding. Poor touch in 48th minute when ball came to him in box. Shot wide from distance on 54. Made five key passes, more than any other player. EPA

• 

  Jadon Sancho 5 - Silly pass back to Malacia who was under pressure – and made a mistake which led to opening goal. Taken off at half-time and he could hardly complain about it. EPA

• 

  Antony 5 - Wrong decision on 17 when he passed towards Bruno rather than shot on goal with only the keeper to beat, then set up Bruno a minute later. Saw his curled shot saved on 26. Beat Lecjaks twice on 34 but needs to do more. AFP

• 

  Bruno Fernandes 6 - Hit the crossbar on 18. Took a 52nd-minute free-kick, beat the wall but not the goalkeeper, then he set Rashford up for the equaliser two minutes later. Reuters

• 

  Cristiano Ronaldo 6 - Shot on goal after nine minutes and a super turn to set himself up five minutes later. Jeered by a partisan crowd when he hit a free-kick over on 25 and selflessly played a ball across goal on 32. Hit the post on 78, then involved in late attacks and shot wide on 93, but couldn’t get his first goal from open play this season against possibly the weakest side United will play. Reuters

• 

  SUBS: Marcus Rashford 9 - On for Sancho at half-time and struck a shot over within a minute. Ball over from Bruno, cut inside and bang, a 52nd-minute equaliser. Flicked a ball beautifully to set up Martial for the second and set up Shaw after 75. Scored the third on 84, a tap in. On it. AFP

• 

  Luke Shaw 6 - On for Malacia at half-time. Booked. Better than Malacia who he must surely push for a position to get back in the team.

• 

  Anthony Martial 8 - On for Fernandes on 61. Put United ahead after 63, finding the bottom left corner with an accurate strike. Beautiful control to set up Ronaldo on 82 – and then Ronaldo, selflessly, on 90 and again on 91. Sharp. AFP

• 

  Fred 6 - On for Antony after 73. Fierce shot from outside the box on 88. Reuters

Manchester United overcame an early setback to beat Omonia Nicosia 3-2 in the Europa League and begin the recovery process after their derby defeat in the Premier League.

Seeking some respite in Cyprus following the 6-3 loss at Manchester City on Sunday, United fell behind to a goal on the counter by Iran striker Karim Ansarifard in the 34th minute.

However, the second-half substitutes made the difference. Marcus Rashford equalised in the 53rd minute with a curling shot from just inside the area before he produced a deft flick to fellow replacement Anthony Martial, who cut inside and shot low inside the near post.

Cristiano Ronaldo made a rare start for United and struck the post from close range before driving in a cross that Rashford converted for his second goal in the 84th minute.

Nikolas Panagiotou replied a minute later for Omonia to ensure a tense finish.

It was a second victory in three Group E games for United, who are three points behind Real Sociedad - 2-0 winners at 10-man Sheriff Tiraspol.
