After a 1-1 draw in his Premier League debut against Ipswich Town, Rúben Amorim urged fans to remain calm and stated that Manchester United would face some struggles before reaching their ideal football. However, the victory came faster than expected.
Facing a modest opponent and playing at Old Trafford for the first time since the Portuguese coach arrived in England, the Red Devils took the lead early, with Garnacho scoring in the first minute. But what seemed like a comfortable game soon turned into a scare. Bodo/Glimt equalized in the 18th minute, and in less than five minutes, they had taken the lead, much to the despair of the fans. At that point, United was in 18th place in the European tournament.
The relief came from the feet of Danish striker Hojlund. Signed last season as the main goal scorer, Hojlund equalized just before halftime and scored again within the first five minutes of the second half to calm the fans, Rúben Amorim, and the players.
At the end of the match, Amorim praised the fans at Old Trafford and the warm welcome he received.
“The fans made me feel at home. It’s so special. Half of the stadium doesn’t even know me well… I came from Portugal and haven’t done anything for this club yet. The way they make me feel at home is something special, and I’ll carry that with me until the end of my career,” he said in the post-match press conference.
With the win, United moved up three spots, rising from 15th to 12th place with nine points, just one behind the top 8. Bodo/Glimt, on the other hand, remained stuck on seven points and dropped to 17th place. Lead the pack with BB Score.
