This was the club's second consecutive win in the Europa League since Amorim took charge at Old Trafford and it put the Portuguese coach in the same bracket as legendary Red Devils bosses Ferguson and Busby, who both won their first two European games in charge.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">3 - Ruben Amorim is the third Manchester United manager to win both of his first two games in major European competition in charge of the club, along with Matt Busby and Alex Ferguson.

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>It was a much-needed win for the English giants who headed into the game on the back of consecutive losses against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest in the Premier League. In the Amorim era, United have now won and lost two matches each and drawn once.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The win over the Czech club has also helped the English giants to club up to the seventh position in the Europa League table. They are now well-poised to qualify for the round of 16 stage of the competition.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Amorim's side will be next seen in action against a struggling Manchester City side in the Premier League on Sunday before they meet Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup round of 16 tie on December 19.</p>
