Højlund brace helps Amorim to first Man Utd win

Manchester United came from behind to beat Bodo/Glimt 3-2 in the Europa League and secure their first victory under new manager Ruben Amorim.

United went ahead inside the first minute thanks to a howler from keeper Nikita Haikin, who failed to deal with a back pass and under pressure from Rasmus Højlund the ball broke free for Alejandro Garnacho to tap in from close range.

The Norwegians scored twice with quick breaks, Hakon Evjen hitting a superb strike into the top corner in the 19th minute and Philip Zinckernagel holding off Tyrell Malacia before beating keeper André Onana to stun the Old Trafford crowd.

United equalised just before the break when Noussair Mazraoui's pass into the area picked out Højlund who controlled the ball with his first touch before getting a shot away between two defenders into the far corner.

Amorim's side went ahead five minutes after the break when Manuel Ugarte's low pass across the area was guided into the net by Højlund shortly after Mason Mount had hit the crossbar.

United could not find another goal, however, and needed two good saves from Onana to secure the three points which lifted them to 12th in the standings on nine points, ahead of Bodo/Glimt on seven.
