Scott McTominay was happy to prove Manchester United's matchwinner against Europa League opponents Omonia.
McTominay struck late for the 1-0 triumph.
He later said: "We knew we needed the win tonight but that they'd be fired up too.
"Neil Lennon is a great coach and no games like this are ever easy. Everyone is pleased with the result.
"You have to be patient sometimes. (Marcus) Rashford had so many chances and we did everything but score. Their goalkeeper was a different class but we created enough chances and deserved to score in the end.
"I wasn't on the pitch for the majority of the game but sometimes you think it's not going to be your day. The team spirit is good though and no one ever gives up.
"It's a massive goal because we need to win the group."
