Team News
Moreto Cassama, a former Reims midfielder, is out with an injury after just 13 minutes of Omonia’s loss to Sociedad, and after missing the weekend’s victory over Doxa, the 24-year-old is a serious doubt for this match as well.
Hector Yuste was a further casualty of Omonia’s most recent European match, but he was healthy enough to sit on the bench at the weekend, and Lennon has no more brand-new worries to bring up ahead of the match on Thursday.
As of Manchester United, Raphael Varane is out from the game due to an ankle injury against Man Derby clash at the Etihad after 40 minutes. As per reports he is not traveling to Cyprus. While Donny van de Beek, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Harry Maguire are all out with hamstring injuries, Martin Dubravka has recovered from a muscular issue.
According to Ten Hag, Cristiano Ronaldo was benched at the Etihad Stadium out of “respect.” Ten Hag might choose to start Martial ahead of the five-time Ballon d’Or winner following Martial’s late brace as a replacement.
Omonia possible starting lineup;
Fabiano, Miletic, Yuste, Panagiotou, Matthews, Charalampous, Papoulis, Dikserand, Lecjaks, Ansarifard, Bruno

Omonia vs Manchester United Prediction
Omonia Nicosia were completely outplayed by Sheriff Tiraspol in their first Europa League group stage game. Real Sociedad managed to win against them without several of their first-team members.
United might have been embarrassed by Manchester City in the Premier League. But Thursday’s European opponents are not going to be that hard to contain. We expect United to walk away with all three points.
We say: Omonia 1-2 Manchester United
