Rashford's reaction"It's done, but we would have liked it if we had played better. It wasn't bad defense, but it was mistakes. We have to learn from our mistakes in football.
"I think we played well up until they scored. We had good movement. We could have gotten in behind them more and put more pressure on the goal. I thought we played well. The manager wanted us to be more dynamic, take more chances moving forward, and try to score. It was positive at halftime and we made positive improvements."
Rashford was then asked how he felt about playing on the left. He replied, "I can play both; but I think that the left side is a bit easier for me." But I enjoy helping the team.
He said, "We just have to clean up our mistakes and we'll all be fine."

Some things are permanent.United knew that subs were essential to make an impact tonight, and they delivered!
Man Utd's five most recent competitive goals were achieved by substitutes. ️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️
This is a club record for the Premier League era. It beats the previous record of four consecutive matches from February 1999, when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer scored four subs in the 8-1 PL victory over Nottm Forest. #MUFC

United look more like themselves after scoring the equaliser, but they still lack the intensity Ten Hag seeks. Omonia is right to say that they are not letting the Premier League side play and are frustrating them.

Rashford equalises!53’ Omonia 1-1 Manchester United
Just seven minutes after coming on, Rashford gets United level. It was a brilliant strike from the box to the bottom right corner.
