4000 tickets for the Glimt supporters for the Europa League match at Old Trafford were sold within 15 minutes. The extreme demand from the away supporters led to the expansion of the away section with an additional 2659 tickets.
Still, it will not be a “yellow horde” as Manchester United’s years contain about 75,000 players. – The question many ask themselves is whether it is possible for a small team from a small country like Norway to win against one of the world’s biggest clubs. The answer is actually yes!.

This is a game that will be very tough for newly appointed Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim to lose. And with Bodø/Glimt’s attitude that it is fantastic to be at Old Trafford and play indicates that we will have Norwegian champions who show up to play football and have fun. I think Bodø/Glimt will win even if all reason says the opposite.
We at sporten.com have discussed several times whether it is possible for Bodø/Glimt, who in recent years have established themselves as Norway’s best club, to make it in the big leagues such as the Bundesliga, La Liga and Premier League, that there is often a bit of a pole out in the important matches in Europe.
“This feels crazy!”
This has led both The Mirror and the Daily Mail to call the whole thing a “ticket farce”. The English media is not familiar with Glimt supporters and fears security problems, (idiots) but the Daily Mail also points out that Amorim and the United players will face more noise and noise from the away section than usual. Not optimal for the new manager who has to show the supporters at Old Trafford that United are doing anything other than collecting draws.

Concerns in the English media are of course also about the possibility of Bodø/Glimt taking control and painting Old Trafford yellow. Everything you need to know about Manchester United- Bodø/Glimt.
We think Bodø/Glimt will win tonight and that they will bring home the Eliteserien gold this weekend. Glimt leads with one point ahead of Brann and will face relegation-ready Lillestrøm at Aspmyra.
It’s absolutely magical. It will be magical for all of us. It will be an opportunity that we must not only enjoy, but use, said head coach Kjetil Knutsen in the press conference before the match.
“For me, it identifies a lot of the pride it is to be part of the Glimt family. It’s quite unique.”
With seven points, Glimt have one more than Manchester United in the Europa League. At the moment, Glimt are two points up to the top eight who go directly to the last eight.
