Manchester United will look to continue their resurgence under Erik ten Hag when they take on Omonia Nicosia in the Europa League. Successive come-from-behind victories in all competitions would have boosted Man United while heading into this fixture on Thursday. The Red Devils were given a real scare in Cyprus last week by the same opposition but ten Hag’s boys responded well to the first-half setback. Even though Omonia can take a lot of confidence from last week’s performance, a trip to Old Trafford might be a step too far for the visitors to produce any kind of upset.
