Erik ten Hag’s boys who were defeated 6-3 by rivals Manchester City on Sunday, were far from convincing but ultimately prevailed over the Cypriot minnows.
The three points were earned by a brace from Marcus Rashford and a strike from Anthony Martial for the Red Devils, who sit second in Group E behind Real Sociedad.
Cristiano Ronaldo started the game in Cyprus and provided an assist for one of Marcus Rashford’s goals despite failing to score.

This season, the Portuguese has battled for playing time, starting only one league game, and he was an unused substitute in the Manchester derby loss over the weekend.
In recent months, the former Juventus star has been widely connected with a move away from the Theater of Dreams, and now a rather surprise move to a new club is on the table.
Galatasaray are interested in making a spectacular approach for the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, as revealed by Turkish site Fotomac via TalkSPORT.
According to the source, the Super Lig team would “go all out” to sign the 37-year-old in January, with club president Erden Timur in constant communication with the player’s representation.
The former Real Madrid player had a spectacular comeback to English football last season, scoring 22 goals in 34 games across all categories after coming to Manchester from Juventus.
The Portugal international has started just one league game this season- a 4-0 loss to Brentford- in addition to United’s three Europa League matches.
During the most recent transfer window, it was rumoured that Ronaldo was seeking a move to a club that might offer him Champions League football. However, Ten Hag claimed that he wanted Ronaldo to remain with his team.

In the summer, Ronaldo was linked with a move to Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, as well as a possible return to his former club- Sporting Lisbon.
Although the Portuguese captain remains put, he is reported to be growing increasingly dissatisfied with his status at United.
Galatasaray are exceedingly unlikely to be able to match Ronaldo’s current weekly salary of approximately £360,000, which could prove to be a significant block going forward.
The Turkish team would also be unable to offer the player any type of European football this season, having failed to qualify for any competition after finishing in thirteenth place last year.
The big question on everyone’s lips now is whether Ronaldo will stay at The Theater of Dreams beyond January.
