An exhibition game for Ronaldo to score and he fails.

I hope Varane is fit for the weekend. Lindelof hasn't had much game time this season but he's never been good enough anyway.

United should have hammered this team 5 or 6 nil. At least ten Hag woke up after the first half and put on the goal scorers.

Has the rules changed in this competition regarding finishing places in the group stage?

Got the job done. Rashford and Martial were joy to watch and they changed the game.

Thing is, we're Ronaldos hostages when he plays. It can be summed up as Ronaldo trying to score match.

Other than that we could have scored 7.

The key to this season is keeping Rashford and Martial fit and motivated, Eriksen used correctly, Varane as fit as he can be and Fernandes being able to get into his natural positions without Ronaldo on the pitch and then we stand a chance of getting top four in the league and maybe depending on who goes out in the CL maybe winning Europa.

Daft match against what was probably the weakest opposition United faced this season.

Balance of play United was 3 or 4 goals the better team yet found themselves 1-0 down at half time and only won 3-2 and that's due to poor defending on both goals and United so wasteful tonight. Decision making and shot selections so poor.

3-2 win against the fourth best team in Cyprus, and that with our strongest side. Beyond dog shit and just so disheartening. At least we avoided the disgrace of dropping points.

I'm at a loss at this point, it's just bizarre.

Rashford very good minus that pass to Ronaldo when he should have gone for the hat trick.

Good to see Martial with another goal. Would have liked to see Ronaldo get a goal as his overall game was decent it just wasn't going his way.

Really like Martinez as always and think the 80 minutes for Casemiro was much needed

Martinez, Martial, Antony, Rash all good games. Ronaldo is so finished.

I’m convinced it was just a bad shot from Ronaldo for the assist on Rashford’s second goal. Distant and poor quality EL oppo who we completely outplayed but conceded two really poor goals. Job done, move on.

I can't get over how many chances we waste and how many chances we give away.

Absolutely detest Bruno and Ronaldo on the pitch together. Some reality for Malacia. Rashford was so clear of everyone but it was Omonoia...

What should have an easy 3 points, we’ve made really hard work. Poor finishing, poor concentration lead to a really tedious night. Nicosia weren’t particularly great, we outplayed them for long periods but it didn’t feel like we tried to earn this one. Great subs from ETH, Rashford was fab off the bench. Sancho and Malacia had bad games tonight and could lose their places in the team.

Job done, I guess.

If we cannot offload Ronaldo in January, we need to just agree to cancel his contract in May. He cannot complain about the lack of chances. Everyone was trying to give him the ball.

Is it me, or do we just not know how to use space in a defense. I kept seeing open areas and no one was moving into them.

On the other hand, there were some moments of great ball movement and coordination. So confusing...
