Turning our attention back to the Europa League, where Manchester United have six points after four games, the Reds will welcome Bodo/Glimt to Old Trafford on Thursday night.
It will be the first occasion in both club’s history that they will meet in a competitive competition and we’re looking forward to it.
Ruben Amorim got his managerial stint underway at the weekend with a 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town. It was a rude awakening to life in the Premier League and there is a feeling of disappointment after United dropped more points.
Suffering a collapse away at relegation-scrappers Ipswich Town, the former Sporting CP boss is still looking for his first win as head coach. It took United until the previous round of fixtures to record their first win in the Europa League this season after securing a 2-0 victory against Greek outfit PAOK.
Moreover, United have suffered just a single defeat from any of their previous 10 consecutive appearances across all competition. That run stems from September 29.
Punters can back United to get a win on Thursday night against Bodo if they’re looking for the best sports betting sites not on GamStop. There will be no shortage of offers or markets.
Meanwhile, Bodo go into the game after beating Odd 2-0 in the league over the weekend. They will be desperate to build on that with a historic result over one of the biggest football clubs in the world. They have managed just a single win from any of their previous five games across all competitions.
It is worth remembering that Bodo kicked off their European campaign with a sensational 3-2 victory against Portuguese giants FC Porto in September. The same side that held United to a 3-3 draw in Portugal, so we can’t take any passengers on the pitch this week.
That said, United are unbeaten in their last five showdowns at Old Trafford after managing four wins and one draw.
We can United to score a goal in both halves and win the match convincingly. It should go down as Amorim’s first win in charge after Sunday’s disappointing draw.
Manchester United and Bodo/Glimpt team news
It remains to be seen if Leny Yoro or Tyrell Malacia will make a return to defence. The French centre-back was left out of the squad entirely on Sunday, while Malacia was named on the bench to face Ipswich.
The Norwegian go into the game without three players: Gaute Vetti, Daniel Bassi and Svyer Skeide.
