      Man Utd 3 Bodo/Glimt 2: Hojlund scores double as Red Devils fight from 2-1 down to seal Amorim’s first home win

      by

      RASMUS HOJLUND borrowed a scene from The Gladiator as he put Bodo Glimt to the sword.When the Danish striker equalised to make it 2-2 at halftime, he ran to the legions of fans in the East Stand, put his thumb up, and then turned it down, adding a cut-throat gesture.Rasmus Hojlund dropped a Gladiator inspired celebration after scoring his first of the eveningAlejandro Garnacho has scored the opener inside 48 secondsIt saw Ruben Amorim break United’s 33-year duck in his home debut – as the last time they scored inside 60 seconds in Europe was 1991But Hakon Evjen humbled the home crowd with a 19th minute stunner before Bodo/Glimt made it 2-1 four minutes laterHojlund levelled things for United on the brink of half-time with an excellent volleyHojlund then put United in front in the 50th minuteThe signal replicated that from a Roman Emperor for an opponent to be finished off.Hojlund did just that when he added his second in the 50th minute as the invaders from Norway who had been so vocal at 2-1 up found their team slain by the end.”Are you not entertained? Is this not why you are here?”, Hojlund might have cried to The Stretford End at the close of a thrilling contest.It was a much-needed night for Hojlund, who could easily have been hailed as ‘Maxuimus Misses’ during his time at Old Trafford.READ MORE ON MAN UTDBut on night’s like this you can see why Erik ten Hag bought him, and pleaded for patience.In his first two games in charge of Manchester United new boss Ruben Amorim has ordered his troops to “unleash hell.”They did just that after 80 seconds to lead at Ipswich and it took just 48 seconds to do just that in this contest that saw United’s hopes of automatic qualification for the Europa knockout stages revived.Credit Hojlund for chasing down Jostein Gundersen’s back pass as he was alert from the first trumpet.Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSMan Utd ratings vs Bodo/GlimtGoalkeeper Nikita Haikin casually let the ball run across him and Hojlund slid in to to wrestle it free and Garnacho fired home.What a start for United – who are now 12th and one point away from eighth in their European league phase standings.Is Amad Diallo the key to transforming Ruben Amorim’s attack at Manchester United?But as at Ipswich it did not lead to a dominant first half display.In fact, on both occasions, the impetus gained from the early boost was immediately lost as the intensity dropped.It was like the days of Louis van Gaal, as the ball was slowly swapped between players without a lot happening.The visitors were happy to wait and pounce.They did that in the 19th minute as they won possession from Matthijs De Ligt’s hurried clearance.In a blur of yellow the Bodo players swarmed forward and Sondre Brunstad Fet pulled the ball back for Hakon Evjen who released a stunning shot from the edge of the area into the far top corner.The away end of nearly 7,000 fans who made the journey here were delirious.They could not quite believe it four minutes later when their side took the lead.The wisdom of giving fit again Tyrell Malacia his first football in 550 days, having not even had a subs appearance, was called into question in the build-up.When Patrick Berg fired a ball down the right flank the United wing back had a yard start, but in a flash was two paces behind, as Philip Zinckermagel went past him like road runner.All Malacia could do was fling out a hopeful arm to try and knock him off his stride.The Bodo player was too fast, too strong, powering his way into the box before firing low past Andre Onana into the far bottom corner.It could have been three when Evjen was teed up once more but fired over.Then United dug deep to earn an equaliser right on half time.United made it difficult for themselves at times but the forwards finally came throughAndre Onana handled the ball outside the box in the 75th minuteAmad Diallo mimicked his run against Ipswich but Garnacho couldn’t put it awayNoussair Mazraoui did well to win possession and then chip a cross into the area.Hojlund flicked the ball up with his left foot and fired a volley home with his right, before setting off in celebration.United maintained the momentum from that as the returning Mason Mount hit the bar shortly after the restart.Then the Red Devils took the lead as Hojliund finished off a great move.Mazraoui was involved against playing the ball forward for the returning Mount whose clever flick rolled into the path of Bruno Fernandes.And Manuel Ugarte’s square ball was perfectly waited to beat a VAR check as Hojlund suck out a foot and turned it in.But it was a nervy finish as the visitors earned a free-kick on the edge of the box after a clever foul from Casemiro.Berg fired the ball over the wall but Onana dive to his right to push the ball away to safety with a quick VAR quick cleared.So victory for Amorim in his first game in charge at Old Trafford.Much to be positive about too.It was not just Hojlund’s goals but the performances of Mazraoui and Mount.Garnacho was all action again, he missed alot of chances but he scores too and never stops.It is something to build on.READ MORE SUN STORIESAll Hail Ruben the sixth…manager since Fergie.Hopefully his campaign will last a bit longer than the rest who tried to replicate the triumphs of English football’s great conqueror.Amorim endured a topsy-turvy nightA mouse is seen on Old Trafford pitch More

      Ruben Amorim breaks Man Utd’s 33-year duck in just 48 SECONDS during Bodo/Glimt clash

      by

      IT took Ruben Amorim’s side just 48 SECONDS to break Manchester United’s 33-year duck in his home debut.It was the first time since 1991 that the Red Devils have scored in the opening minute of a major European game.The Ruben Amorim Old Trafford era got off to a perfect startAlejandro Garnacho broke a 33-year record after he scored inside 48 secondsUnited face Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt in the Europa LeagueAmorim picked a much changed side for his mid-week tieThe last time United put one in during the first 60 seconds of a European clash was during Sir Alex Ferguson’s fifth season.It was Brian McClair – now 60 – who opened the scoring against Montpellier in a Uefa Cup Winners’ Cup tie. Jonny Evans was just three years old. Casemiro wasn’t even born. But it was now Alejandro Garnacho, 20, who got United off to their dream start – albeit from a Bodo/Glimt goalkeeping howler.READ MORE ON MAN UTDGarnacho was the one to put the ball in the back of the net – but the goal was all about the hard work of Rasmus Hojlund.He dispossessed the Bodo/Glimt stopper, who took far too long on the ball in his own box before trying to wrestle Hojlund down.It was another fast-start under Amorim, just as we saw at Ipswich.But that quickly unravelled 19 minutes later when the visitors – from Norway’s top division – pegged one back through an absolute screamer.Most read in FootballIt was blow for Amorim, who you could see becoming frustrated that his side couldn’t capitalise on their dominance.FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSMan Utd ratings vs Bodo/GlimtAnd Bodo/Glimt incredibly turned the game on its head just four minutes later as the Norwegian outfit went 2-1 up.Forest winger Zinckernagel outpaced Tyrell Malacia, who looked every bit a player who hasn’t taken to the pitch for 550 days.Man Utd player ratings vs Ipswich Malacia, who was later hauled off at half-time, had a headstart but you wouldn’t have known it as Zinckernagel fired in a low effort that squirmed in under the legs of Andre Onana.Goalscorer Garnacho continued to work as part of the front three – a a shift from his wing-back position during Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Portman Road.Hojlund levelled the scores on the brink of half-time with a superb right-footed volley – his best goal in a United shirt.And it took just five minutes after the break for the Dane, 21, to put the home side back in front with a sliding finish.United are up to 12th in their European league phase table, with three games remaining.Ferguson was in attendance at Old Trafford for Amorim’s first home game as Erik ten Hag’s replacement.The cinema quickly panned to the Scot, 82, after Garnacho’s opener.Meanwhile, Amorim slashed two names off his United team-sheet for their Europa League clash.READ MORE SUN STORIESHe only named 10 players on the bench – two fewer than United’s last European game against PAOK.Teams are permitted 12 substitutes – with Bodo/Glimt opting to fill their bench.Ruben Amorim played his signature 3-4-3 More

      Ruben Amorim plotting shock £50m transfer raid on Sporting’s biggest rivals as he lines up first Man Utd signing

      by

      RUBEN AMORIM is already working on bolstering his Manchester United defence.The new United boss wants Benfica’s rising star Tomas Araujo, 22, and could push for a £50million deal for the central defender when the transfer window opens in January.Man Utd are lining up a £50m January swoop for Benfica defender Tomas AraujoCredit: RexRuben Amorim managed Benfica’s rivals Sporting Lisbon before joining UnitedCredit: PAAmorim has a meeting with Old Trafford decision makers on Friday and will discuss a move for Araujo.Araujo has been a pillar of the Portuguese giant’s team this season, partnering with former Manchester City stopper Nicolas Otamendi in the backline.The Red Devils have been dealing with substantial injury issues at the back this season, and Amorim has instantly set his sights on his compatriot, who won his first international cap only last week.A product of the Benfica academy, Araujo was targeted by Crystal Palace and Paris Saint-Germain last summer. READ MORE IN FOOTBALLStill, Benfica’s bosses rejected the moves, although some of Europe’s top clubs are closely monitoring the situation.He’s started eight games in the Portuguese league this season, with one assist, helping Bruno Lage’s team bounce back after Roger Schmidt’s firing in October.Benfica have only lost one game since Araujo began getting a regular run of games – he has also started in the last four games in the Champions League.SunSport understands that new Old Trafford chief Amorim has placed Araujo on his wanted list as he begins his United rebuilding job.Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSAraujo has all the attributes Amorim is after — he is 6 ft 2, a good passer of the ball, and physically strong, with plenty of room for improvement.He can play centrally or on the right side of the defence and is considered the best prospect to come out of Portugal’s most productive academy since current Manchester City star Ruben Dias.Ruben Amorim takes brutal swipe at Ed Sheeran as Man Utd boss admits Sky Sports pundit ‘is the real star’ Super agent Jorge Mendes is looking to establish a working relationship with AmorimCredit: ReutersThe Portuguese rising star has a release clause of 100million euros, as Benfica consider him one of their most significant assets.SunSport understands super agent Jorge Mendes, who has guided Cristiano Ronaldo’s and Jose Mourinho’s careers, is trying to establish a close working relationship with Amorim.The Old Trafford boss, however, is doing things his way.A source close to Amorim told SunSport: “Ruben wants everyone to be on the same page. He won’t change the way he works.”Amorim needs A LOT of time on training pitch to fix Man Utd… unfortunately he won’t get it, writes Charlie WyettIN theory at least, the only way is up for Manchester United, writes Charlie Wyett.We are nearly a third of the way through this Premier League season and it is still staggering to see United lurking in 12th place.They have managed just four wins with a goal difference of 0. Only Everton, Crystal Palace and Southampton have scored less.It is certainly not a false position and a point at Ipswich illustrated the massive job that Ruben Amorim faces.United’s fans sang the name of their new manager throughout the game.They also gave the players rapturous applause on the final whistle and although this was an improvement on some of the performances this season, the bar has been set pretty low.The club’s optimistic supporters will see that their team is only six points off the top four.  Ultimately, though, it is difficult to see United even reaching last season’s final position of eighth as they look worse.United’s patched-up defence will improve – and a three-man formation at the back will help them – but you have to wonder where the goals are going to come from. Marcus Rashford struck after 81 seconds and then went missing for the rest of his 68 minutes on the pitch.Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee were also introduced in that double change midway inside the second half but added absolutely nothing. What a terrible couple of signings they have proved to be and United’s fans would swap both of them for Ipswich’s Liam Delap.Amorim did not celebrate the Rashford goal and paced around his technical area throughout looking uneasy.Each time there was a break in play, he called over players for instructions.Alejandro Garnacho headed over to the touchline on a couple of occasions while there were also words for Diogo Dalot, Casemiro and Jonny Evans.Amorim, a manager with infectious enthusiasm, will be hopeful he can get his message across to all of the players in the next few weeks.But the problem for the Portuguese coach is that this was the first of 10 games in the space of 33 days.What he really needs are spells on the training ground without a midweek game but he does not have that luxury.

In a statement put out by PSV, it was said that the former striker believed “there was not enough support within the club to continue longer”.Van Nistelrooy then spent a year out of work, but was desperate to return to the dugout.He said in the summer: “I would really like to work in Spain and I have had conversations with Spanish clubs. “But also the other leagues in which I have played, I want to coach there too – in the Premier League.”Now following his brief stint at United, he appears to have been granted his wish at struggling Leicester, whose last victory came on October 19 against Southampton.The Prem legend also appeared to form a brilliant relationship with players at United, with many of them sorry to see him earlier this month.He has been a Uefa Pro-License holder for more than two years.Foxes’ owner Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha gave the green light to recruit Van NistelrooyVan Nistelrooy previously coached the Netherlands team as an assistant to Ronald Koeman at Euro 2020.He returned to Old Trafford this summer as part of a shake-up of the club’s coaching staff under Ten Hag with Rene Hake also arriving as assistant, but all three left when Amorim was appointed. Van Nistelrooy lifted a Premier League title, FA Cup and League Cup in a glittering five-year spell at United under Sir Alex Ferguson.But this time round will be different for the Dutchman, as he’ll be asked to save Leicester from relegation.The 2015–16 Prem champions were promoted back to the top flight under Enzo Maresca after winning the Championship last season.But Southampton and Wolves are the only teams to have conceded more goals than the squad at the King Power Stadium.READ MORE SUN STORIESAfter Saturday’s match at Brentford, they face West Ham, Brighton, Newcastle and Wolves before Christmas.It’s then league leaders Liverpool on Boxing Day and Manchester City on December 29.Van Nistelrooy was given a standing ovation after United beat Leicester 3-0 in his last game in chargeLeicester were playing for Premier League survival More
