- Ruben Amorim takes charge of his first game at Old Trafford
- Man Utd scored early but then unexpectedly fell behind
- Rasmus Hojlund netted twice to turn game back in their favour
Manchester United marked Ruben Amorim's first game at Old Trafford with a second straight Europa League win, beating Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt in a five-goal thriller.
Alejandro Garnacho scored with less than a minute played to send United fans into dreamland, but a first half collapse resulted into Bodo/Glimt taking a shock lead after goals from Hakon Evjen and Philip Zinckernagel, before Rasmus Hojlund levelled things just prior to the break.
Hojlund got his second in the early stages of the second half to restore the home side's lead and United were able to successfully navigate the remainder of the game to climb up to 12th in the league phase table, five matchdays in.
