Ipswich vs Manchester United LIVE: Premier League result and final score from Ruben Amorim’s first game
Ipswich 1-1 Manchester United: Amorim was grateful for Andre Onana’s saves as the new boss took home a point from his first game in charge
Ruben Amorim enjoyed a dream start to life at Manchester United but could not claim an opening win in the Premier League as Ipswich claimed a draw at Portman Road.
Marcus Rashford scored after just two minutes of Amorim’s first game in charge - with the Portuguese coach seeing his new system click into gear in a stylish move.
But Omari Hutchinson equalised before half time with a wonderful curling effort into the top corner and United needed Andre Onana to be on top form to secure the visitors a point.
The United goalkeeper twice denied Liam Delap with fine saves, leaving Amorim with plenty of work to do to get his new side to where he wants them to be.

Garnacho’s attempted ball over the top to Hojlund runs to Muric, but it was the right idea. Ipswich enjoy a little spell of possession, and Clarke wins a free-kick off Mazraoui.

Ruben Amorim is, perhaps understandably, looking a little concerned on the sidelines. It’s been a limp performance from his side despite a great start.

Fernandes’ give-and-go with Hojlund ends with the Portuguese winning a free-kick near the edge of the box. He lines it up from about 25 yards and it’s a good effort, but it fizzes just wide of the post.

Zirkzee gets his first sight of goal as the space opens up ahead of him, but he just doesn’t look confident and his effort flies well over.

Davis is caught on the ball by Zirkzee but luckily Muric is there to sweep up the danger. The game has slowed down a lot now – it’s certainly not an entertaining one.

United are seeing plenty of possession but they don’t have a lot to show for it at the moment. Fernandes plays a lovely ball over the top to Garnacho, who fizzes in a cross that just misses Amad at the back post.
