Manchester United's Twitter handle, officially recognized the efforts of an opposing goalie in the person of Francis Uzoho. The 23-year-old Nigerian Super Eagles goalkeeper was the star of the Europa League fixture between the Manchester side and Omonia Nicosia on Thursday night. "Recognising a top performance from Francis Uzoho," Man United tweeted with a photo of the goalie being congratulated by Cristiano Ronaldo, who he had thwarted on a number of occasions. The Super Eagle was in spectacular form in Thursday’s Europa League encounter although Omonia Nicosia bowed 1-0 to the Red Devils courtesy of a last-gasp effort by super-sub Scott Mctominay. Prior to that, Uzoho had denied Cristiano Ronaldo, and Marcus Rashford from scoring - in the process accrued an impressive 12 saves – with nine of them coming from inside the box, a goal.com report stated. The loss notwithstanding, the 23-year-old has been up in the trends on Twitter with fans calling on Manchester United to sign Uzoho as a replacement for their goalie, David de Gea.
