Rasmus Hojlund Guides Ruben Amorim to Victory at Old Trafford, Roma Holds Tottenham Hotspur at Bay

Manchester United secured a 3-2 Europa League victory over Bodo/Glimt at Old Trafford, marking Ruben Amorim's first game in charge. Rasmus Hojlund scored a double to help United bounce back from a late first-half deficit against the Norwegians. Meanwhile, Tottenham could only manage a draw against Roma on Thursday. Amorim expressed his gratitude for the warm welcome he received from the fans at Old Trafford, acknowledging that he has much to prove as he continues to settle into his new role at the club.

Manchester United scored in the second minute of former Sporting Lisbon boss Amorim's first match as manager at Ipswich on Sunday and it took under 60 seconds for them to break the deadlock against Bodo/Glimt.

Visiting goalkeeper Nikita Haikin was put under pressure by a poor back-pass and his clearance was blocked by Hojlund, allowing Alejandro Garnacho to tap into an empty net.

But United's defensive frailties were laid bare as Hakon Evjen swept in a 19th-minute equaliser and Philip Zinckernagel put Bodo/Glimt in front four minutes later.

United looked short of ideas until the stroke of half-time when Noussair Mazraoui's cross found Hojlund, who flicked the ball up with a clever touch and calmly volleyed into the bottom corner.

The hosts reclaimed the lead less than five minutes after the restart, as Manuel Ugarte squared the ball across the face of goal for Hojlund to prod home.

United survived a real scare when the referee waved play on after goalkeeper Andre Onana handled outside his area in the second half.
