Manchester United will face Bodø/Glimt in the Europa League on Thursday night at Old Trafford. Despite the high anticipation around Ruben Amorim’s arrival as the new manager, the Red Devils looked like their old self, securing a 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town in the Premier League.
Their Europa League form hasn’t been better either, winning just one game out of their first four games.
Meanwhile, Bodø/Glimt have also been struggling recently, with just one win in their last five games.
The Norwegian side suffered a 2-1 loss against Qarabağ FK in their previous Europa League fixture.
However, considering United’s recent results, Bodø/Glimt will fancy their chances to take out a result.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Amorim could well make some changes to the team that started last Sunday’s draw with Ipswich as he gets to grips with his new squad.
Luke Shaw and Mason Mount could start after coming on as substitutes at Portman Road. Kobbie Mainoo may also get the nod in midfield after returning to fitness, while Tyrell Malacia will hope at least to be in the matchday squad as he prepares for a long-awaited comeback.

Man United vs. Bodo/Glimt Prediction
Given United’s recent form and home advantage, they are expected to dominate possession and create more quality chances. However, they will need to be more clinical in front of goal.
Meanwhile, Bodø/Glimt will rely on their goalkeeper Haikin to produce another masterclass to keep the scoreline respectable.
