Hojlund celebrates vs Bodo/Glimt
Manchester United beat Bodo/Glimt 3-2 in the Europa League on Thursday to secure Ruben Amorim’s first win at the club.
United broke the deadlock less than a minute into the game as Alejandro Garnacho tapped home after good work from Rasmus Hojlund.
For the second game running United failed to take control of the contest having gone ahead and Bodo/Glimt equalised through Hakon Evjen before taking the lead through Philip Zinckernagel. Hojlund scored late in the first half to bring United back on level terms and then bagged his second of the game after 50 minutes to make it 3-2.
Here are how the players rated at Old Trafford:

Andre Onana
Well beaten by Hakon Evjen but the ball went through his legs from Philip Zinckernagel. Flirted with disaster outside his area but scrambled the ball away. 6
Noussair Mazraoui
Ended an uncharacteristically iffy half with a fine cross for Rasmus Hojlund to equalise. Effortlessly switched from centre back to right back in the second half. 7
Matthijs de Ligt
Failed to anticipate the danger after Tyrell Malacia was outsprinted in another cumbersome performance. His place should not be secure in this side. 4
Lisandro Martinez
Went walkabout for Bodo's second goal on his return from a back injury. Played one fine pass that led to Mason Mount's sighter before his withdrawal. 6
Antony
Crowbarred into the team at right wing back and did not convince, having trained in that position last week. Made way before the hour. 4
Manuel Ugarte
Had a different partner in fellow Sporting alumni Bruno Fernandes and the balance was not quite right. Still did well to assist Rasmus Hojlund. 6
Bruno Fernandes
Moved to a deeper role, where he has excelled before, but was unable to replicate that form. Not a particularly effectual evening. 5
Tyrell Malacia
Outpaced for Bodo's second goal in the ultimate endurance test. Overcooked crosses and had to come off at half-time. He did. 3
Mason Mount
Busy off the ball on his first start in 96 days and hit the crossbar early in the second half. Earned a bullish chest-bump from Amorim after he came off. 6
Alejandro Garnacho
Tapped into an open net after 48 seconds and found Fernandes and Mount for some good chances. Missed better chances himself. 6
Rasmus Hojlund
Made the first goal through his pressing and then finished adroitly to equalise just before half-time. Showed predatory instincts to put United ahead. 8
Subs
Diogo Dalot
A spirited second-half performance. 6
Luke Shaw
Slotted in at centre half. 6
Amad
Back on the right and a threat. 6
Marcus Rashford
Shot wide. 5
Casemiro
Lax reaction to Dalot's loose pass and booked for a deliberate handball. 4
Manager
Shored United up after a porous first half by switching to a back four out of possession. Dicey decision to make all five subs before the 70-minute mark. 6
