Legendary Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes says the man of the match performance by Francis Uzoho for Omonia Nicosia in Manchester United 1-0 win isn’t anything special.
Uzoho was handed the chance to be in goal for Omonia Nicosia and he frustrated Manchester United before he was finally beaten by a 93rd minute goal from Scott McTominay, which handed Manchester United a 1-0 win.
All in all he made 12 saves which earned him the man of the match award. His most memorable saves during the game was a finger tip save to deny Casemiro and a double save, first from Rashford then Cristiano Ronaldo from the follow up.
Despite the 23 year old receiving all round praises, Scholes said he didn’t do anything special as the saves where balls which any goalkeeper should make. “He saved every ball a goalkeeper should be saving”, he said during his post match analysis of the game on television.
His position is different from that of the coach of Manchester United Erik Ten Haag who said his team scored late because of the heroics of the Nigerian who was in goal for the visitors.
