Manchester United wins under new coach Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford

Manchester: Manchester United played their first match under new coach Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford. The atmosphere was welcoming, with a banner in Portuguese saying “Welcome home.” However, the game started poorly for United, as they fell behind 2-1 to Bodo/Glimt, a team from Norway. This was a worrying sign, as the team had struggled in previous matches.

Despite the rough start, United managed to turn things around and secure a win. Amorim expressed gratitude for the warm reception he received from the fans, saying it made him feel part of the club. He noted that even though many fans did not know him, they made him feel at home.

One player who stood out was Rasmus Hojlund. After being left out of the starting lineup, he made a strong comeback. Hojlund assisted in the first goal and scored two goals himself, ending a long goal drought. Amorim praised him, saying he is a quality player who can score difficult goals.

Alejandro Garnacho also had a lively performance, scoring quickly in the match. Mason Mount, returning from injury, played well and contributed to the team’s efforts. However, the match also highlighted the issues that Amorim has to address. United has a history of conceding goals quickly, and this match was no different.

Bodo/Glimt, despite being a smaller club, took the lead at Old Trafford, showcasing their confidence. Their fans traveled a long way to support their team, making it a memorable night for them. The Norwegian team scored two goals in quick succession, taking advantage of United’s defensive mistakes.

United started the match strong, scoring just over a minute in. Hojlund’s quick thinking helped Garnacho find an open goal. However, the team struggled to maintain their lead, and soon found themselves trailing. Hojlund’s goals were crucial in bringing United back into the game.

Amorim’s guidance was evident, as he instructed Hojlund to focus on attacking the near post, leading to a successful goal. Despite some close calls and a few saves from goalkeeper Andre Onana, United managed to secure the win. They now sit in 12th place in the Europa League standings, a position that offers some hope for improvement under Amorim’s leadership.
