Ruben Amorim will lead Manchester United in his inaugural home match on Thursday as Bodo/Glimt comes to Old Trafford for a UEFA Europa League clash.
The new manager started his tenure with a 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town in the Premier League last Sunday, highlighting the team’s low confidence and recent struggles.
Having earned six points from their initial four Europa League games, United trail their Norwegian rivals by one point, making this match crucial for their chances of advancing to the knockout stages.
For Bodo/Glimt, this week is pivotal, starting with their visit to Old Trafford followed by the important final matchday of the Eliteserien, where they currently sit at the top of the league.
