Amorim on if United is the impossible job

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.

Follow all the reaction from the 1-1 draw, below:

HALF-TIME! Ipswich 1-1 Manchester United

It was an electric start from United to score within the first two minutes, but almost immediately after they just refused to kick on. Most of their promising play is coming from the wings, but there hasn’t been an awful lot of chance creation for the away side.

Conversely, Ipswich reacted very well to going down, creating plenty of chances, and they deserved their equaliser and that bit of good fortune.

We’re in for an intriguing second period here.

There’ll be three minutes of added time here, and we’re into minute one.

Once again, it’s all a little pedestrian at Portman Road.

United get forward for the first time in a while, but it ends with Amad curling an effort straight at Muric. Moments later, there’s a break in play after Delap collides with Evans.

GOAL! The hosts are level!

Ipswich have been the more threatening of the two sides and they’re level, with Hutchinson cutting inside from the right and hitting an effort that takes a deflection off the head of Mazraoui and nestles in the top corner!

CLOSE! What a save this is.

Ipswich break with a great pass to Davis, and he gets into the box before layinguit off. It runs to Delap, who looks certain to score, but Onana makes himself big and gets a strong hand to it.

Half a chance for United and Dalot should do better really, as he’s found in-behind the defence with a good long pass from Casemiro. He takes it under control, but can only hit a tame effort at Muric.
