Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has emphasized the importance of securing a win against Bodo/Glimt in their upcoming Europa League clash at Old Trafford.
The Portuguese manager, who recently oversaw a 1-1 draw in his Premier League debut against Ipswich Town, is eager to get his first victory in charge of the Red Devils.
Softfootball gathered that Amorim described the match as a special occasion but insisted that once the whistle blows, it will simply be another game requiring focus and tactical discipline.
He acknowledged the strength of the Norwegian side, noting their high work rate and dangerous wingers, which he expects will make for an intense and challenging encounter.
Amorim highlighted the difficulty of managing a squad with limited training time due to a congested fixture list, but he expressed confidence in his experienced players who are accustomed to international competition.
He believes that while the lack of preparation time affects both teams, United’s depth and quality should give them the edge.
The manager stressed the need to improve physically to match Bodo/Glimt’s energy, urging his team to maintain clarity in their playing style. Winning this home fixture is crucial for building momentum and establishing his authority early in his tenure at the club.
