Cristiano Ronaldo sent a simple three-word message to his Manchester United teammates after they fought back to defeat Omonia Nicosia on Thursday night. United were 1-0 down at the interval before substitutes Marcus Rashford (two) and Anthony Martial scored to save their blushes.
Ronaldo, 37, played the entire 90 minutes in Cyprus as his teammates strengthened their Europa League advances. United have picked up six points from a possible nine so far in Group E.
It means they trail group leaders Real Sociedad — who were victorious at Old Trafford last month — but they remain favourites to progress with reverse fixtures to come. United were 3-2 winners in Nicosia, despite a very sluggish first half display.

However, they did get back to winning ways following their humbling in the Manchester derby. Ronaldo, of course, missed out on that occasion before returning to the starting XI this Thursday night.
Despite passing up several chances to add his name to the scoresheet, the former Real Madrid superstar was happy to record three points. In a short Instagram message that featured a strength emoji, he posted: "Well done lads."
Ronaldo was not the only United player to log on to social media post-match. Rashford said: "Important that we got ourselves back into the game and got the points away from home."
Continuing his comeback with a third goal in two outings, Martial added: "Thanks to the fans who travelled."
United captain Bruno Fernandes continued: "A good 3 points. Progress for the Europa League."
After jetting back to the UK following the game, United are set for a quick turnaround for their next match. Indeed, they head to Goodison Park for a Premier League meeting with Everton on Sunday night (7pm).
