Manchester United played Ipswich Town on Sunday evening which also turned out to be the first match of the club in the Ruben Amorim era. Unfortunately, the result did not quite meet the expectations with Ipswich holding out for a 1-1 draw. Nevertheless, United has not suffered a defeat since the departure of Erik ten Hag. The supporters have accepted the fact that results will not take a drastic improvement even under a new coach. There will have to be trust and faith in the process, which will be overseen by the Portuguese manner and with plenty of expectations.

Inconsistencies and mixed results have marked Bodo/Glimt’s recent matches. In the last six games, the club has managed just a couple of victories, two draws, and two defeats. Bodo is still at the summit of its domestic league with a staggering 59 points from 29 matches and an impressive goal difference of 37. The Norwegian outfit will be content with a place in the play-offs despite the hope of knockout football.

Key Players to Watch in Manchester United vs Bodo/Glimt

Casemiro (Manchester United)

Casemiro has recovered some of his form after struggling massively during the initial phase of the season. There were talks about him getting dropped from the team permanently but the Brazilian has replied most grandly and is once again the man to rely on in United’s midfield. Casemiro is one of the most experienced individuals in the Manchester United camp and that will be required by the club for the remainder of the campaign. The former Real Madrid man found the back of the net twice last month against Leicester City in the EFL Cup.

Alejandro Garnacho (Manchester United)

Alejandro Garnacho has been one of the most precious finds by Manchester United in recent years. His rise to the top as a regular starter for the club has been a rare positive for Manchester United fans this season. Garnacho prefers to play on the left side of the attack but is also effective from the right side, which is where is expected to play against Bodo/Glimt to accommodate Marcus Rashford. Garnacho has seven goals and four assists this season for United.
