David de Gea has admitted Manchester United must improve their finishing to win games this season.
United looked set to draw with Omonia Nicosia in the Europa League on Thursday night after lacking quality in the final third. Omonia's goalkeeper, Francis Uzoho, enjoyed an outstanding game and he was responsible for keeping the scores level.
That was until the deadlock was broken in stoppage time thanks to Scott McTominay, who dramatically fired home from point-blank range to win the three points, which ensure that United still have the opportunity to win their Europa League group.

Omonia did not threaten United throughout the match and De Gea was a bystander for the majority of the contest, but the Spaniard had a perfect view of the missed chances and he bemoaned the standard of finishing in his post-match interview.
"I think we should be more clinical today, we could finish the game 3-0 or 4-0," De Gea told MUTV. "In the end, we missed our chances, but we never give up, we keep fighting to the end and it was a great goal from Scott [McTominay]
"It gave us three points, very important because we want to finish first in our group. I think he made an amazing game, he probably made eight or 10 saves, he keep his team in the game, but in the end, we scored, but he had a great game.
"I know he played in Spain, in La Liga, so congratulations to him for his game. This is the only point [finishing] that we can improve because we controlled the game, they don't create chances, they had a half a chance.
"Sometimes games are like this, sometimes you create 10 chances, in the other game you create one chance and score a goal. This is football. We need to be more clinical if we want to win games in the Premier League."
