Since Ruben Amorim took over at Manchester United, there has been a renewed sense of hope among the fans, with many believing that the club can return to its old golden days.
Amorim is eager to extend United’s undefeated run to six matches when they face Norwegian club Bodo/Glimt in the upcoming Europa League fixture.
Since their loss to West Ham United, United have not been beaten, securing important results against teams like Leicester City, Chelsea, and most recently, a 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town. Despite Marcus Rashford’s early opener, Omari Hutchinson equalized just before halftime, ensuring the draw.
Currently sitting 12th in the Premier League standings, Manchester United are eager to improve their position. In the UEFA Europa League, the reigning FA Cup winners are ranked 15th, but a victory over Bodo/Glimt would see them level on points with 7th-placed Tottenham Hotspur, providing a much-needed boost as they aim to rise through the ranks.
FK Bodo/Glimt, the Norwegian club, currently sit at the top of the Norwegian top division with 59 points from 29 matches. In the Europa League, the club occupy 12th place, ahead of Manchester United, with two wins, one draw, and one loss to their name.
Despite their strong performance in the tournament, Bodo/Glimt saw their three-match unbeaten streak in the Europa League come to an end after suffering their first defeat of the campaign against Qarabag FK.
The Norwegian side will be eager to get back to winning ways and will look to secure a crucial victory over United, hoping to pull off an upset at Old Trafford.
Both teams will lock horns against each other for the first time. United won three of their last five matches. Bodo/Glimt drew two of their last five games.
