Omonia Nicosia forward Loizos Loizou has sent a warning to Manchester United ahead of Thursday evening's Europa League tie in Cyprus.
United are in need of a response when they travel to Omonia following the poor defeat to City on Sunday. The 6-3 mauling looks to have undone some of the positive momentum Erik ten Hag managed to build after the opening couple of losses in the Premier League.
If United thought that Thursday's opponents would be easy pickings considering they have lost both of their opening two matches in the Europa League, they could be mistaken. Speaking ahead of the match, Loizou believes that Neil Lennon's influence could inspire his team to victory.

"Yes, he can make it [the difference]," the 19-year-old explained to the PA News Agency. "He always tells us we are not scared of anyone – but we still have to be at our best levels.
"He helps us think we’re not playing against one of the best teams in the world, just to play like we always play. He can help us win.
"In his career as a coach he won a lot of trophies and titles. He knows how to win these titles."
Lennon, who notably has won five Scottish Premier League titles with Celtic in his managerial career, is no stranger to facing United having featured against them 12 times previously. The 51-year-old arrived at Omonia Nicosia in March this year and has already won the Cypriot Cup with his new club.
