Manchester United needed a resilient display and a tactical shift to secure just a second Europa League win of the season as Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt arrived at Old Trafford.
Alejandro Garnacho looked like he had set the tone for a perfect night as Ruben Amorim led the Red Devils at the Theatre of Dreams for the first time. But it threatened to become a nightmare when Hakon Evjen and Philip Zinckernagel struck in quick succession for the visitors.
Rasmus Hojlund pulled it back to 2-2 in the closing stages of the first half, before the Dane grabbed an ultimately decisive second after the break to seal the victory and three points.
Hojlund at the double
Prior to kick-off, Hojlund had only scored twice in all competitions this season. Now, he has doubled that tally in one night thanks to a game-winning brace.
The Dane had something to prove after not getting the nod in Amorim’s first lineup a few days earlier and took each of his goals with a clinical edge. It was also a sign that, with consistent quality service, he will find the back of the net.
