'It's a dream come true for me': Omonia Nicosia goalkeeper Francis Uzoho revels in the moment after the boyhood Man United fan starred at Old Trafford in his side's 1-0 defeat against the Red Devils

Omonia Nicosia goalkeeper Francis Uzoho revealed he had fulfilled his lifelong dream to play at Old Trafford after starring against Manchester United in the Europa League on Thursday.

Uzoho, who is normally Omonia's second-choice goalkeeper, was given the gloves for the game against the team he has supported since he was a child, and he made the most of his opportunity.

The 23-year-old made a number of impressive saves to deny the hosts throughout the game, before he was finally beaten by Scott McTominay in added time as United secured a late 1-0 win.
