Jamal Musiala’s venomous half-volley set the stage for a commanding five-goal rout.
The reigning Bundesliga champions doubled their advantage past the hour. Michael Olise’s run drew a foul from which his freekick delivery met Harry Kane’s head from close range – a two-goal cushion which enabled Kompany to replace Musiala with Ismael Saibari.
The floodgates soon opened as Alphonso Davies arrived on the end of a corner to unfurl a rocket. Twice, Olise left Lund without a chance, wrapping up their night’s work with a pair of textbook curlers from the edge of the box as Björtuft’s late red card left Bodø fully exposed.
Meanwhile, Manchester United celebrated their first UEFA Champions League appearance in almost three years by dismantling tournament debutants Sabah 4-0 at Old Trafford.
