United have drawn each of our three matches in the Europa League thus far but will be looking to move up from 22nd in the table during November, with the visit of Bodo/Glimt following later this month.
This will be van Nistelrooy’s only continental match at the helm – Ruben Amorim arrives as new permanent head coach next week – and the Dutchman wants his players to build on the platform established against Leicester and Chelsea.
“In every game Manchester United plays you’re expected to win it, so there’s no difference there,” he said.
“But for us it’s a matter of performing, building on performances that the lads put on over the last two games, with that spirit, with that togetherness and that’s the foundation.
“Also, as I said after the Chelsea game, the qualities of the players will start to flourish.”
