Norwegian minnows Bodo/Glimt are confident of pulling off a shock win at Manchester United tomorrow night.
Bodo/Glimt will take on the might of United at Old Trafford in the Europa League. The Scandinavian outfit, of course, will never come close to matching the financial muscle and winning pedigree of United.
The match will be new United boss Ruben Amorim’s second game in charge after a 1-1 draw away at Ipswich on Sunday, which sees them in 12th place in the Premier League after just four wins from 12 matches.

But the Bodo/Glimt’s sporting director Havard Sakariassen reckons being more than a step or two behind United’s legacy won’t stop them believing in a miracle win. He said: “We don’t have the resources you see at top clubs in England. We will never, ever be able to compete with that.
“But we truly believe in development and that we can get the potential out of the players we have here. If we can do that, as individuals and as a team, it is huge. Then you can make a great team and it goes a long way.

“Maybe I am naive. But in a single match like on Thursday, I think we will be able to compete against Manchester United and have a great performance at Old Trafford.”
