He lined up with a strong starting line-up as Man Utd sought a first win under their new manager following a 1-1 draw with Ipswich on Sunday.

And there was a notable change to Amorim's side as the team sheet came out.

He only named 10 players on the bench - two fewer than Man Utd's last Europa League game against PAOK.

Teams are permitted 12 substitutes - with Bodo/Glimt opting to fill their bench.

But Amorim chose not to use his full bench.

And two of those named as substitutes were goalkeepers - Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton - meaning he had just eight outfield subs to use.

They were Marcus Rashford, Joshua Zirkzee, Christian Eriksen, Amad Diallo, Casemiro, Diogo Dalot, Luke Shaw and Kobbie Mainoo.

The starting XI consisted of Andre Onana in goal and a back three of Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez.
