Nigerian star shoots down Manchester United in Denmark

By Daily Sports on February 19, 2016

Paul Onuachu scored a stunning goal on Thursday to hand Danish club FC Midtjylland a slim first-leg advantage in their round of 32 clash of the UEFA Europa League against three-time European champions Manchester United.

The big Nigerian striker was drafted in as a second-half substitute with the score at the MCH Arena tied at 1-1.

He showed some surprisingly nimble footwork to hoodwink Donald Love and Juan Mata before firing a right-footed effort past Sergio Romero in the United goal.

Onuachu had earlier come close to scoring with his first touch of the match but saw his powerful header beaten out by Romero.

The Danes will now take the slim lead to Old Trafford for the return fixture hoping to get a decent result which will see them progress to the quarterfinals.
