McTominay, introduced with less than 10 minutes remaining, fired in the winner after fellow substitute Jadon Sancho teed him up in the box. The result means United remain three points behind Group E leaders Real Sociedad, who beat Sheriff Tiraspol 3-0 for their fourth win in as many matches in the competition. United dominated and had several huge chances to score but were left frustrated until McTominay's winner. 

All the best reaction 

Erik ten Hag praised the spirit and belief of his Manchester United side. He said: "The performance before the box was good but the finishing was not that good. Let's hope we save the goals for another week.''

Opposition boss Neil Lennon was still happy despite the end result: "We have made great strides in a short space of time. We came close to getting a draw against Sociedad and obviously tonight and last week. The players have been fantastic since I came in March.

"The fans were incredible. They looked like they enjoyed the full experience. They showed how much pride they have for the club. To bring 4,000-odd people from Cyprus is incredible.’’

Check out this wholesome interview with the away side's goalkeeper. He was just a few moments from a memorable clean sheet.

What do the fans think?

One Man United fan told us: ''Not the best play from United at teams but at least we won the match. We need to improve for the upcoming match against Sociedad though. We need to finish top of the group to avoid a potential match against Barca or Juve!''

 Manchester United 3 - 3 Coventry City Manchester United won 4-2 on penalties  United somehow progressed to the FA Cup final for the second successive season, following a dramatic semi-final victory over Coventry City. The Reds edged past the Sky Blues on penalties after a crazy and eventful 120 minutes to set up a rematch of last year's final, against Manchester City. Following goals from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes, United appeared to be in total and complete control. Despite having a few chances, it did look like this was one match too far for Coventry. However, goals Ellis Simms and O'Hare reduced the deficit and made things very nervy for Ten Hag's side. Then in stoppage time, Haji Wright kept his nerve in stoppage time to score from the spot and send the game into extra time. Many Manchester United fans were furious at this point.  Disgraceful performance from #mufc https://t.co/sibOvrXJB0 pic.twitter.com/dPV06sMrkJ — Jay Dee (@JDESFNews)
