After starting the Rubén Amorim era with a 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town in the first division last weekend, manchester united will face the Norwegian team Bodo/Glimt in the european league tonight.
This will be Amorim's first home game and fans will be hoping to see some improvements from their last outing with Kieran McKenna's side.
The Red Devils have collected six points from four games in the European second division competition and are currently 15th in the table. On the other hand, Bodo/Glimt are just ahead of the Old Trafford club with an extra point.
The top eight teams will automatically qualify for the quarter-final qualifying after the league round and United will be desperate to do so. But, to achieve this, they will have to win games like this.
team news
Man Utd have a few injury absences ahead of this game, as Victor Lindelof and Leny Yoro remain out with their respective problems. Additionally, Jonny Evans was not present for United's final training session before this match, having started last time, so he is doubtful for this match.
Besides, Harry Maguire has he returned to training after recovering from his injury but this match will come too soon for him. The good news is that Lisandro Martínez is available for selection tonight.
Planned lineup
Amorim deployed a 3-4-2-1 formation against Ipswich and is expected to continue with the same system, but hinted in his pre-match press conference that he will make some changes to his starting XI.
André Onana would continue between the sticks after a promising performance last time out. In front of him, Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt and Martínez should be the three defenders. Luke Shaw could therefore appear from the bench.
Amad Diallo is likely to keep his place in the RWB position after a brilliant performance last weekend, while Diogo Dalot could be on the opposite side. Thus, Tyrell Malacia would be among the substitutes.
casemiro and Christian Eriksen could return to the bench after an average performance last time out, so Manuel Ugarte could start in the engine room alongside Bruno Fernandes for United. Kobbie Mainoo could therefore appear from the bench.
Mason Mount could be a number 10 and Antony could get the chance to prove it, while Rasmus Hojlund He is expected to lead the Man Utd line. So Amorim can use Mark RashfordJoshua Zirkzee and Alejandro Garnacho as substitutes.
Man Utd vs Bodo/Glimt expected lineup
Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martínez; Amad, Ugarte, Bruno, Dalot; Monte, Antonio; Hojlund
