Ipswich hold Man Utd in Amorim’s opener

FAST START: Rashford, right
Manchester United kicked off the Ruben Amorim-era with a 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town at Portman Road last night.
The Red Devils started like a house on fire in front of their new coach, with Amad Diallo making a superb run from his surprise rightback position to set up Marcus Rashford in the second minute of Amorim’s rein.
Rashford made no mistake and made it 1-0. But it proved to be a false start, as Ipswich levelled shortly before the end of the first half when Omari Hutchinson blasted the ball in from outside the area in the 43rd minute.

His left-foot strike deflected off United defender Noussair Mazraoui to beat Andre Onana.
The United keeper was unlucky to have conceded that goal and probably deserved a clean sheet for keeping two Liam Delap strikes – on either side of half-time – out of the net.
A draw was probably the best result on the night, with United now in 12th position on the log and Ipswich 18th.
💬 "We will improve in the future."
