Ruben Amorim has taken charge of his first Premier League match as head coach of Manchester United, but now it is time for his first European night. United face Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt on Thursday in what could be an important game should they hope to advance to the knockout stages of the competition.
United find themselves in 15th place after one win in four games, meaning they are only two points clear of 25th -- the highest place to be knocked out in the league phase.
Amorim's first game as United boss saw him rely on his trusted 3-4-3 system, with Amad Diallo making an instant impact from right-wing back and Diogo Dalot slotting in the opposite side during the 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town. He is expected to use the same system on Thursday, too.
Bodo/Glimt are three places above United in 12th. They earned a famous 3-2 victory over Portuguese giants Porto in the first gameweek despite being reduced to 10 men in the 51st minute when Isak Dybvik Määttä was sent off.
