Ruben Amorim takes charge of his first Europa League game as Manchester United manager as Bodo/Glimt come to Old Trafford.

Amorim’s side made a middling start to life under their new manager with a draw against Ipswich continuing a stuttering season in the Premier League.

While unbeaten in the competition, their European campaign is yet to properly get going with three draws from their four matches so far leaving them in mid-table and a point below their Norwegian opponents.

Bodo/Glimt suffered a set-back last time out against Qarabag but are top of the Eliteserien with a game to go as they seek to secure a fourth title in five years.

Here’s everything you need to know.
