*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Man Utd toiled for large swathes of their 1-1 draw at Ipswich on Sunday and it’s already clear that they will need plenty of time to adapt to new manager Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-3 formation. Nevertheless, United remain odds-on favourites at 2/9 to win on Thursday.
Bodo Glimt have lost only once in four matches in the Europa League and their excellent group stage wins over Portuguese duo Porto and Braga suggest the 11/1 underdogs could make life awkward for their hosts at Old Trafford.

Player to watch – Amad Diallo
Amad Diallo has been making a consistent impact for Man Utd since returning to the XI on a regular basis following the sacking of Erik ten Hag and the 22-year-old lodged his fourth goal contribution in as many games when he assisted against Ipswich on Sunday.
Amad can be a menace
Ivorian international Amad scored both of United’s goals in their 2-0 win over PAOK on matchday four and the versatile performer, who could be deployed as a wing back for the second game running, looks like a potential match winner for the Red Devils again.
