Watch: Neil Lennon happy with his Omonia players after losing to Manchester United

Omonia Nicosia took a first-half lead against Manchester United but were ultimately beaten by a Manchester United side that found a bit of groove after the break.

It would be fair to see the underdogs, managed by former Celtic man Neil Lennon, gave United a scare after scoring the first goal on a counter-attack.

United eventually rallied to victory thanks to substitutes Marcus Rashford (x2) and Anthony Martial, but Omonia scored another goal to make it 3-2 before the end.

Erik ten Hag’s side hung on at the end to claim three points.

However, speaking to BT Sport after the match, Lennon gave a positive account of his players because he was happy with the fact they scored twice.

“Scoring two goals was more than I could have imagined,” Lennon said.
