Ruben Amorim’s era starts with Manchester United earning just a point against Ipswich Town in a 1-1 draw at Portman Road today.
United made a good start in Suffolk, taking the lead through Marcus Rashford at the begining of the match. The forward converted Amad’s brilliant cross from the right to score his second league goal of the season.
Ipswich hit back shortly before half-time with adeflected effort from Omari Hutchinson. He unleashed a powerful left-footed effort from range that was too hot for Andre Onana to handle.
Onana on the other hand played his part in earning United a point, making two fantastic saves. United, as a result, are still yet to win back-to-back Premier League matches this season.
Man United fans had just started to serenade Ruben Amorim to KC and the Sunshine Band when Marcus Rashford swiftly scored. It is not all sunshine and rainbows just yet.
It’s obvious they still lack the control and intensity their new head coach exudes. Amorim’s debut draw is additional confirmation that this overnight sensation cannot work miracles overnight. In the 86th minute, he reportedly rebuked the collective for their inability to press.
An interval advantage for United would have been a travesty. For the first 15 minutes, the red shirts were perfectly positioned and there was a glimpse of an identity in Amorim’s 3-4-3 formation.
Yet Ipswich offered the greater goal threat and their 43rd-minute leveller had been coming.United started the Ruben Amorim era with a point this afternoon, drawing 1-1 with Ipswich Town at Portman Road. Amorim will know he has plenty to work on in the coming weeks.
