Ruben Amorim has his first win as Man Utd boss, and one player’s performance hasn’t gone unnoticed by fans. It could have a HUGE impact in the transfer market… 👀

Manchester United supporters believe the club could avoid spending a fortune in the transfer market after a current player delivered an outstanding performance in their Europa League victory over Bodø/Glimt.

Ruben Amorim, 39, marked his managerial debut at Old Trafford with a rousing reception from the home crowd. The Red Devils got off to a flying start when Alejandro Garnacho capitalized on a defensive lapse to score within the opening minute. However, Bodø/Glimt fought back, equalizing in the 19th minute through Håkon Evjen, who struck a stunning shot past Andre Onana. The Norwegian side then took the lead just four minutes later as Philip Zinckernagel finished clinically.

United responded before the break, with Rasmus Højlund skillfully controlling a cross from Noussair Mazraoui and slotting the ball home. Højlund was on target again early in the second half, netting his second goal to put United ahead. His performance has sparked excitement among fans, who now see him as the answer to the team’s goal-scoring struggles.

Many supporters even questioned the necessity of pursuing Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyökeres, who has been linked to United and carries a hefty price tag of £70.7 million. Gyökeres, a player Amorim highly values from his time at Sporting, has been in blistering form, scoring 24 goals in 20 appearances.

Fans shared their enthusiasm on social media with comments such as:

“Who needs Gyökeres when we have Højlund?”

“Amorim is turning Højlund into Gyökeres instead of signing him.”

“No sane Manchester United fan would want Gyökeres when we already have Højlund.”

“Højlund might actually be our Gyökeres.”

“Højlund’s a proper 9. United doesn’t need Gyökeres. Nurture the prospect.”

The hard-fought 3-2 win lifted United to 12th place in the expanded 36-team group stage. Next, they shift their focus to the Premier League, where Amorim will guide the team in his first domestic league match at Old Trafford, facing Sean Dyche’s Everton on Sunday.
