Manchester United, under the new management of Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim, secured a memorable 3-2 victory over Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League on Thursday night.
This match marked Amorim's first home fixture as manager, and he expressed profound gratitude for the warm reception from the Old Trafford fans, describing it as an experience he will "never forget" in his career.
The game began with a swift goal by Alejandro Garnacho in the first minute. However, Bodo/Glimt responded with two quick goals from Hakon Evjen and Filip Zinckernagel, turning the tide against Manchester United.
Despite this setback, Rasmus Hojlund's two goals clinched the win for United, showcasing the team's resilience and adherence to Amorim's tactical approach.
Amorim, who recently took charge of the team, emphasized the importance of maintaining possession and praised his players for their efforts to implement his strategy, despite challenges posed by the opposition's transitions. He noted, "Sometimes we won the ball and have had problems in the past giving the ball away too much – the mindset is keeping the ball."
In addition to celebrating the victory, Amorim is already looking ahead to future enhancements for the squad. He has shown interest in recruiting two Nigerian strikers, which could hugely influence the team's dynamics moving forward. This proactive stance shows his commitment to strengthening Manchester United's lineup.
Ruben Amorim's debut at Old Trafford was not only marked by a thrilling win but also by the emotional connection he felt with the fans, stating, "Half of the stadium doesn’t know me, I came from Portugal and I did nothing for this club. Yet the way they make me feel at home is special." His impactful start and strategic vision suggest a promising tenure at Manchester United.
