Omonia Nicosia goalkeeper Francis Uzoho has fondly recalled his remarkable performance against Manchester United at Old Trafford during a UEFA Europa League clash two years ago, where he made an impressive 12 saves despite his team ultimately succumbing to a late winner from Scott McTominay.
The 25-year-old shot-stopper, reflecting on the memorable encounter, expressed a mix of pride and disappointment. While he took pride in his superb performance against the Red Devils, Uzoho expressed disappointment over the result, lamenting the missed opportunity to secure at least a point.
In an interview with BT Sport, Uzoho highlighted the challenges of playing at such a renowned stadium against formidable opponents, acknowledging the intimidating atmosphere and the quality of players on display.
Despite the disappointment of the outcome, Uzoho’s performance at Old Trafford stands as a testament to his skill and resilience as a goalkeeper, earning him recognition for his exceptional shot-stopping abilities against one of the biggest clubs in world football.
