Manchester United vs Everton kicks off at 14:30 [GMT+1] on Sunday, December 1, at Old Trafford.

Rasmus Højlund has called for Manchester United fans to exercise patience as new head coach Ruben Amorim continues to adjust to life at Old Trafford.

Despite a shaky start, including a 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town in Amorim’s Premier League debut, United secured a 3-2 victory over Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League, with Højlund scoring twice to help complete a comeback.

Højlund acknowledged that the squad is still adapting to Amorim’s tactics, particularly the 3-4-3 formation, which he feels suits his style of play well.

The striker mentioned that while the team is starting to show some patterns of the new system, it will take time to fully adjust.

“Obviously it’s going to take time and we can already see some patterns,” Højlund said. “Now for us, it’s time to build.”

Amorim expressed his satisfaction with the improvement in quality and chances created during the game against Bodo/Glimt, despite the fatigue experienced by his players.

The win gives Manchester United some momentum heading into their Premier League clash with Everton on Sunday.
