Then Bodø/Glimt are back where the club belongs: At the top of the elite league table. Now a challenging week awaits loaded with opportunities. On Sunday, it will all be decided against Lillestrøm, but on Thursday there is also a match Kjetil Knutsen and the Glimt players love. Then it’s time for Old Trafford.
In the red part of Manchester, Ruben Amorim has created great enthusiasm during his two weeks in the job as United coach, on Sunday it was time for the first test in the Premier League. Two minutes into the game against Ipswich, the first ball sat in the net with Amorim on guard. United supporters could hardly believe what they saw, the Portuguese will lead the club back in record time.

A 1-1 draw against bottom side Ipswich shows that the Amorim effect didn’t quite kick in. Ruben Amorim himself does not spend much energy explaining away the fact that there was not a full point pool at Portman Road. Four days before the match against Bodø/Glimt, this bodes well for Kjetil Knutsen and the gang.
“I know it’s frustrating for the fans, but we change so many things in a period with a lot of games. We will suffer for a long time. We will try to win games, but it will take time. We have to risk a little now, and next year we will be better. If we don’t, we’ll have the same problems next year,” Amorim told BBC Sport.

In other words: Bodø/Glimt face a Manchester United team that has been given a couple of weeks to learn Amorim football, where the Portuguese refuses to take the change in small doses, here it should be risked. Sounds like Bodø/Glimt will get opportunities at Old Trafford that can be exploited.
