Ruben Amorim takes charge of Man United for the first time at Old Trafford on Thursday, as the Red Devils host Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League.
It was a mixed start to life in England for Amorim, as United could only play out a 1-1 draw on the road against Ipswich. However, the Portuguese has indicated that it will take time for his players to adjust to the 3-4-2-1 formation.
Bodo/Glimt actually come into this match at Old Trafford sitting above United in the Europa League standings. The Norwegian club have won two of their four matches, and have suffered just one defeat.
Odds
Man United will be very short in the betting to gain a first win under Amorim on Thursday, as they are available at -425. An away win for Bodo/Glimt is the outside selection at +990.

Thursday represents an ideal opportunity for Amorim to get off the mark at Man United.
