United needed their 33rd goal attempt by Scott McTominay in additional time to ensure the Super Eagles shot stopper did not fly back to Cyprus with a clean sheet.
Uzoho made 12 big saves and also trended on Twitter in recognition of his sparkling display in goal.
His Omonia Nicosia coach Neil Lennon hailed him as “world-class”.
“Today my dream came through(true),” he tweeted.
“Old Trafford I will never forget tonight.”
A smiling Uzoho, who is a life-long United fan, further admitted in a post-match interview: “Yes, it was my best ever game.
“I am not disappointed (we lost) because we had a great game even though we would have preferred to have got at least a point.
“I am happy because it is not an easy stadium to play in against these big players, but in general I am happy.
“I have dreamt a long, long time to play here. I prayed to God to get an opportunity to play there.
“I am proud of my teammates also because it was not a one-man job, we gave everything on the pitch.”
