Looking for an Omonia Nicosia v Manchester United live stream? We've got you covered.
Manchester United face a long trip to Cyprus to take on Neil Lennon’s Omonia Nicosia in the Europa League on Thursday.
Erik ten Hag’s side were thrashed 6-3 by rivals Manchester City in the derby on Sunday, a result that brought them crashing back to earth after a good month.
The Dutchman was named manager of the month after overseeing four straight wins for the Red Devils to revive their Premier League form, but they were humbled by City as Erling Haaland and Phil Foden both scored hat-tricks.
Attention now turns to Europe, where United can’t afford any slip-ups after a defeat to Real Sociedad and win over Sheriff in their opening two games.
The three points earned so far left them joint-second, but a win is expected against the rock-bottom Cypriots, who are led by former Celtic manager Lennon.
Omonia fell to a 2-1 defeat to Sociedad last time out, after a 3-0 home loss to Sheriff in their opening game.
They earned back-to-back league wins over Enosis and Doxa ahead of the visit of their illustrious rivals, and sit fourth in the standings.
Manchester United are without injured defender Harry Maguire, while Raphael Varane was forced off with a knock in the defeat to City.
Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial both returned from absences in the derby.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Europa League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Champions League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
