Manchester United half-time chat vs Omonia revealed as Erik ten Hag given easy decision to make

Here are your Manchester United evening headlines for Thursday, October 6.

Erik ten Hag told his Manchester United players he wanted them to be more dynamic at half-time against Omonia Nicosia.

United were heavy favourites heading into Thursday night's match against Omonia in the Europa League group stage, but the Cypriot side threatened to cause an upset in the first half when scoring on the counter-attack just before the interval.

Erik ten Hag responded to that setback by introducing Luke Shaw and Marcus Rashford, who helped to change the game. Rashford scored within minutes after being substituted and he eventually scored another, while he also assisted Anthony Martial.

Anthony Martial has more goals against Everton than any other team and he has now pillaged three goals in two substitute appearances. Those on the Gwladys Street must be dreading his return on Sunday.

It has been a while since Manchester United fans aired Martial's chant with any credibility but he scored again against Omonia Nicosia with his first touches.

Martial may have wondered why he only crossed the white line in the second-half. Erik ten Hag's decision to ease him back into the team was dubious after a productive cameo in the Manchester derby and it was in United's interests to get Martial up to speed for the more frenetic surroundings of Goodison Park.
