MANCHESTER UNITED beat Bodo/Glimt 3-2 as Ruben Amorim made his Old Trafford bow.

The Red Devils made the dream start as Alejandro Garnacho scored after just 48 seconds.

Tyrell Malacia struggled on his return from injury

However, Bodo/Glimt responded with two early goals before the Norwegians were defeated by a double from Rasmus Hojlund.

As the players continue to become used to Amorim’s system, SunSport gave their performances the following ratings.

ANDRE ONANA – 6

Lucky to stay on after his mad dash out of the area ended with the ball striking his hand – a relieved man when VAR let him off.

NOUSSAIR MAZRAOUI – 7

Asked to play a more central role than he was under Erik ten Hag. Vital contribution to United’s equaliser

MATTHIJS DE LIGT – 6

Could have got across quicker for the visitors second or maybe he was caught in two minds. Hauled off midway through second half.

LISANDRO MARTINEZ – 6

Back after injury and may need time to adapt to Amorim’s new system. Replaced by Shaw on the hour.

ANTONY – 5

A fresh start under the new boss but he will have to do more than this if he is to force his way back into the reckoning.

MANUEL UGARTE – 7

Uruguayan has played under Amorim before and looks comfortable in the new system. Teed up Hojlund’s second of the night.

BRUNO FERNANDES – 6

Denied with a couple of efforts but the Portuguese has the quality to thrive under the new boss.

TYRELL MALACIA – 5

Back after 17 month injury nightmare and totally outpaced for the second goal. Did not reappear for the second half.

MASON MOUNT – 7

Super curler against the bar early in second half – and a delightful flick in build up to United’s third. More like it from the ex-England man.

ALEJANDRO GARNACHO – 7

The easiest goal he will ever score to give United early lead and should have had a couple more at least.

RASMUS HOJLUND – 8

Harried the keeper to set up the early goal and then scored a couple himself – with his first one a real beauty. Nice Gladiator celebration too. A big thumbs up.

SUBS:

DALOT for Malacia 46 – 6

Made the home side more comfortable defensively.

RASHFORD for Mount 59 – 5

Blazed one decent effort wide when United just wanted to finish the tie.

SHAW for Martinez 60 – 5

Second appearance off the bench as he feels his way back to fitness.

AMAD for Antony 59 – 5

Denied by the visitors keeper on a couple of occasions.

CASEMIRO for De Ligt 66 – 5

Asked to drop into the backline and had a testing end to the game.
