Rasmus Højlund Shines as Ruben Amorim Secures First Manchester United Win

Manchester United defeated Bodø/Glimt 3-2 in the Europa League, showcasing both promise under new head coach Ruben Amorim and lingering defensive vulnerabilities.

  • Rasmus Højlund scored twice, including a skillful volley, as Manchester United came from behind to earn a 3-2 victory over Bodø/Glimt at Old Trafford.
  • Alejandro Garnacho opened the scoring for United within the first minute, but defensive lapses allowed the Norwegian champions to net twice in quick succession.
  • Ruben Amorim, in his first home game as United's head coach, received a warm welcome from fans but acknowledged the team's need for improvement in defensive organization and consistency.
  • The match highlighted Højlund's potential as a key player under Amorim, with the striker benefiting from improved service and tactical adjustments compared to the previous regime.
  • Despite securing the win, United's ongoing issues with conceding quick goals and missed opportunities in attack remain challenges Amorim must address moving forward.
