SEASON 2024/25
Group Stage
MANCHESTER UNITED 3 BODO/GLIMT 2
Scorers: Garnacho, Hojlund(2); Evjen, Zinckernagel
Manchester United welcomed their new head coach, Ruben Amorim to Old Trafford for the first time so it was a good time to go to my first United match of the season.
My day got off to a slow start as the 10.30 bus from Glasgow was late and then developed technical problems which meant a change of coach half an hour into the journey. As a result I arrived in Manchester at 5:30pm (two hours late) so I headed straight to Old Trafford.
With nothing to eat all day my first stop was Lou Macari's chip shop for a tasty pre-match bite. I entered the ground just after 7 and the extended away end was already full and full of colour.
The game was full of interest from the first minute with United taking the lead in the first minute, then a remarkable turnaround with the clinical Norwegians scoring two quick fire and quality goals. However just before half-time United were level through Rasmus Hojlund who also grabbed the fifth goal of the night and ultimately the winning goal early in the second half. They had many chances afterwards to make the game safe but continuely failed to hit the target.
