Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim sealed his first win as Red Devils boss on a wild Old Trafford night against Bodo/Glimt.
Rasmus Hojlund scored either side of the break to secure a dramatic UEFA Europa League victory on home soil and a first three points for Amorim since his arrival in Manchester.
On a evening of mixed emotions for the United head coach, he admitted there is still plenty of work to do, to shape his squad into a cohesive unit.
Alejandro Garnacho's early goal was cancelled out by two quickfire goals from the visitors before Hojlund's rescue act for the hosts.
Amorim rung the changes for the clash with the Norwegian side, with six starting alterations from the weekend Premier League draw at Ipswich Town, and that produced a disjointed showing.
One constant across both games was captain Bruno Fernandes - who previously played for Amorim at Sporting CP - and the 39-year-old is confident in his fellow Portuguese's ability to lead United into a new era.
"You can feel he is the most experienced player in the team. They played with a back four and we tried to switch play all the time. Bruno is the best one at doing that, he's better with the ball in front of him," he said at full-time.
"However, the most important thing is that we have improved from Ipswich and we improved in our quality with the ball."
Up next for Amorim and United is a first EPL home game under his leadership as Everton head down the M62 on December 1.
