Manchester United beat Omonia in Cyprus, coming back from a goal down for a brilliant 3-2 win.
Erik ten Hag’s men shook off the disappointment of conceding an error in what was a dominant first half to clinch all three points in a closely contested affair.
The result has propelled the Red Devils into second place in Group E, three points below Spanish club Real Sociedad.
United’s goals came from Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial.
Rashford came on immediately after the break, while the Frenchman featured for 28 minutes in what was an impressive cameo.
The introduction of Martial in proceedings in place of Bruno Fernandes meant that the team created more clear chances and kept the ball in possession better.
Similar to what he did against Manchester City, the Frenchman reminded fans what he can bring.
The 26-year-old had 18 touches on the ball in the limited time he was on the pitch against Omonia in Cyprus.
Martial predominantly played behind Cristiano Ronaldo, who was in the centre-forward position.
The United do not. 9 completed 11 passes.
Martial also had a 100% conversion rate, scoring the most important goal with his only shot on goal.

United fans will be delighted with the striker who seems reinvigorated with Ten Hag. It will bode well for his confidence if the coach seems to trust him wholeheartedly.
