Nigerian Stopper Tipped For Big Move After Man Utd Display

Nigerian Stopper Tipped For Big Move After Man Utd Display

A former Manchester United star believes Nigerian goalkeeper Francis Uzoho could earn himself a move to a bigger club after starring his against the Red Devils on Thursday night.

The Omonia Nicosia shot-stopper, who is a United supporter, had a night to remember as he kept Erik ten Hag's charges at bay until the 93rd minute when Scott McTominay netted the winning goal at Old Trafford.

Former United and Bayern Munich star Owen Hargreaves was full of praise for the 23-year-old, who is only the second choice goalkeeper at Nicosia.

"That's what it feels like when you have the game of your life. Even when they've lost he's smiling. He was amazing,' Hargreaves said at full time.

'To think he's their second keeper blows you away. He'll nick a move off the back of that performance, I guarantee you.

"This game will change his career, arguably his life. I think that's what sport is all about, moments like that."

Uzoho expressed his delight at playing against the Red Devils at Old Trafford, which he described as a dream.

"It's a dream come true for me. 'I have dreamed to play here for a long time,' the goalkeeper said.

"When I saw the draw, I wanted to play at Old Trafford and I thank God for giving me the opportunity to play.

"I am proud of my team-mates because it wasn't a one man job tonight and we gave everything. I'm happy with my performance."
