Ruben Amorim will take charge of his first game at Old Trafford and his first European game as Manchester United manager when Bodo/Glimt visit in the Europa League on Thursday. Here are predictions, team news, betting tips, and possible line-ups for the game.
Amorim's tenure at Manchester United got off to a less-than-ideal start, with a 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town. Despite Marcus Rashford's early goal, the Red Devils struggled to maintain control and were pegged back by Omari Hutchinson.
The Portuguese manager acknowledged the daunting task ahead, hinting at significant squad overhauls in the coming months.
While a 2-0 victory over PAOK in the Europa League offered a glimmer of hope for automatic qualification, United still have much to do to secure their place in the knockout stages.

Bodo/Glimt, fresh off a 2-0 win over Odd, arrive at Old Trafford in high spirits. With the Norwegian Eliteserien title within reach, they face the challenging task of balancing domestic and European commitments.
