Amorim secured his first win as United manager <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-bodo-glimt-rasmus-hojlund-alejandro-garnacho/blt2eb3e9642305a061" target="_blank">with a thrilling 3-2 triumph over Bodo/Glimt </a>on his Old Trafford debut. Alejandro Garnacho gave the hosts a quick lead and Rasmus Hojlund scored twice either side of the break to fire the Red Devils into 12th position in the standings. Despite the victory, the Portuguese coach was far from satisfied with what he saw on the pitch and insisted that his troops must be more consistent.

WHAT HAPPENED?

When asked about his feelings on the game, Amorim told TNT Sports: "Like a real ride. We started well, but then suffered two goals in two transitions. I like the way the players tried to play our game. Sometimes we won the ball and have had problems in the past giving the ball away too much - the mindset is keeping the ball. They are really trying and I think we deserved the win."The former Sporting CP boss confessed to feeling anxious before matches due to the unpredictable nature of his team’s performances."I get anxious because I don't know what will happen, you don't control nothing at the moment - we are trying to see different things," he said."I don't know the players and we have not worked a lot together. We go to the game excited, but at the same time you are nervous because you don't know how the game will go."

WHAT AMORIM SAID

Hojlund has now scored eight goals in major European competitions for Manchester United. This remarkable tally places him behind only Marcus Rashford and Wayne Rooney, who each netted nine goals before turning 22."I felt Rasmus Hojlund was dead," Amorim added afterwards, alluding to the player's exhaustion from his relentless pressing and movement throughout the match.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

While the win over Bodo/Glimt provided a much-needed boost, Amorim’s candid admission of his anxiety highlights the challenges he faces at Manchester United. With Everton looming on the horizon, the focus now shifts to building consistency and fitness as Amorim seeks to stabilize his team in the coming weeks.
