Manchester United vs Bodo/Glimt LIVE: Latest score and updates as Ruben Amorim seeks first win at Old Trafford

Ruben Amorim sought to downplay the impact of this being his first home game tonight, insisting that he was fully focussed on getting a win. But it is nonetheless an opportunity to take in the history and stature of the grand old club which he now leads.

You can see from Ruben Amorim’s selection tonight that he doesn’t yet have the personnel that he will surely desire to operate his preferred system. Assuming it is a back three, all of Noussair Mazraoui, Antony, Mason Mount and Bruno Fernandes are probably in what one would describe as less-than-natural roles. But we’ve seen tactical ideologues turn makeshift options into genuine difference-makers before – can any Manchester United players stake a claim to their new boss tonight?

Bodo/Glimt would appear to have had no issues getting to and inside Old Trafford tonight, but the Norwegian club have already dealt with a bit of Uefa tomfoolery in the Europa League this year…

A week has served as a crash course in managing Manchester United for Ruben Amorim. There was the hope and disappointment, the flying start at Ipswich and the underwhelming draw of a team held by one of lesser talent, acquired for lesser resources. There was the initial indication of how bright the spotlight shines, of the blend of football and celebrity that United tend to attract.

Before Amorim had got a win, he had an apology from Ed Sheeran after the pop star gatecrashed his post-match interview at Portman Road. It was not necessary. “Sometimes you overcomplicate things,” said the Portuguese, aware such artificial controversies did not come his way in his homeland. “It was nothing, a simple thing to say hello to one of the commentators. And I was with Roy Keane, who is a real star.”

“I’m expecting a very good team,” the Manchester United manager said of the Norwegian visitors on match eve. “They can win the league this week I think, they run a lot and that’s a very good thing for us at the moment. We need to improve that, so we know that in this game we have to run a lot. They have some special players in the wingers, they can play on the pockets very well and they have aura of winning games and this is also because they’re winning all the time. I’m expecting a very intense game, a very good game and I hope to see different things. Improve some things we didn’t do so well in the last game, so it will be a good game.”

Perhaps with more than one eye on Sunday’s potentially title-securing league clash, Bodo/Glimt make five changes from their weekend win.

Bodo/Glimt: Haikin; Wembangomo, Gundersen, Bjortuft, Bjorkan; Evjen, Berg, Brunstad Fet; Zinchernagel, Helmersen, Hauge.

Ruben Amorim promised changes and he has made six of them for his first match at Old Trafford. Among the more intriguing is the use of Antony, an £85m failure of a winger, at wing-back, and the choice of Rasmus Hojlund, after Marcus Rashford was preferred in attack at Ipswich. It means Joshua Zirkzee is the third-choice striker, a damning indictment of a summer signing. Another thing to note is that Bodo/Glimt kick off above United in the Europa League table.

As promised, Ruben Amorim rotates in places in his Manchester United side. Tyrell Malacia makes a long-awaited return from injury while it also appears that Antony is primed for a wing-back role.

Manchester United XI: Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez; Antony, Ugarte, Mount, Malacia; Garnacho, Hojlund, Fernandes.

Manchester United supporters are planning to stage a protest against ticket prices ahead of their Premier League match against Everton on Sunday after the club announced “offensive” plans to remove concession prices for the rest of this season.

The move will see ticket costs for members rise to £66 and has been criticised by supporters’ groups, with the Manchester United Supporters Trust (MUST) warning that it may lead to a “significant price rise” for next season and expressing its disappointment at not being consulted over the change.

United and Everton fans will join together outside of Old Trafford in support of the Football Supporters’ Association’s (FSA’s) ‘Stop Exploiting Loyalty campaign’. Liverpool and Manchester City supporters will also display the banner ahead of their match at Anfield later that day.

Ruben Amorim feels rotation over the next month will help speed up the process of Manchester United’s players becoming accustomed to his style of football.

Amorim started his tenure with a 1-1 draw at Ipswich on Sunday where Marcus Rashford’s 81-second opener failed to inspire a triumphant debut for the former Sporting Lisbon boss.

Various principles of the 39-year-old were on display in Suffolk, with three centre-backs deployed alongside the use of wing-backs, but United were indebted to two excellent Andre Onana saves to claim a point.
