MANCHESTER, England -- Manchester United are up and running under new head coach Ruben Amorim after Rasmus Højlund handed the Portuguese coach his first win in his new job.

On Thursday, Højlund scored twice as United came from behind to beat Bodø/Glimt 3-2 in the UEFA Europa League at Old Trafford. The game will give Amorim hope for the future and reinforce his feeling that there will be plenty of suffering along the way.

Much of the optimism will centre around Højlund, who found the net either side of half-time with two well-taken goals.
