Ruben Amorim earns Michael Owen's seal of approval with 3-2 win over Bodo/Glimt - as former Man United star pinpoints what marks him out from Sir Alex Ferguson's other successors

Ruben Amorim's Manchester United regime has received the endorsement of Michael Owen.

The former Red Devil believes there is one key quality to Amorim's side that marks him out from the other five men who have tried, and failed, to live up to Sir Alex Ferguson's legacy.

United beat Norwegian champions Bodo/Glimt 3-2 on Thursday night and while some will downplay the success, it was a valiant comeback win over an upwardly mobile side who have scalped Roma, Besiktas, and Braga in recent seasons.

Alejandro Garnacho netted in the first minute while Rasmus Hojlund scored twice and United pressed well, although they were vulnerable out wide and went 2-1 down in the first half.
