Rasmus Hojlund Leads Roma to Victory Against Tottenham Hotspur in Ruben Amorim's Old Trafford Debut

web editor  

Manchester United found the back of the net within two minutes of former Sporting Lisbon manager Amorim's debut match at Ipswich on Sunday. Not stopping there, it only took them less than a minute to score the opening goal against Bodo/Glimt.

Visiting goalkeeper Nikita Haikin was put under pressure by a poor back-pass and his clearance was blocked by Hojlund, allowing Alejandro Garnacho to tap into an empty net.

But United's defensive frailties were laid bare as Hakon Evjen swept in a 19th-minute equaliser and Philip Zinckernagel put Bodo/Glimt in front four minutes later.

United looked short of ideas until the stroke of half-time when Noussair Mazraoui's cross found Hojlund, who flicked the ball up with a clever touch and calmly volleyed into the bottom corner.

The hosts reclaimed the lead less than five minutes after the restart, as Manuel Ugarte squared the ball across the face of goal for Hojlund to prod home.

United survived a real scare when the referee waved play on after goalkeeper Andre Onana handled outside his area in the second half.

But Amorim's men held on to give their new boss a satisfactory home debut.
