Former Manchester United star Owen Hargreaves says Nigeria international goalkeeper Francis Uzoho has announced himself to the world with his heroics against Manchester United.
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.
Since joining the Cyprus side two summers ago he has played the role of second choice goalkeeper but according to Hargreaves all of this could change after his performance tonight. He said he expects Uzoho’s agent to be busy owing to his performance.
“I think his agent will be on the phone. He’s still only young at 23. I think everybody now is going to know his name”, he said while giving his post match analysis as a television pundit for the game.
