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.

Amad tries to slip a through ball into the path of Fernandes, but it’s cut out. They got the early goal, but United haven’t clicked since in attack.

Not a lot to report from Portman Road since that last chance. Both sides have been guilty of giving the ball away a little too easily at times, with neither side really dominating.

Another good chance for the home side, with Burns once again at the centre of it as he picks it up on the right and cuts it back for Szmodics, who tests Onana with an effort from outside the box.

Half a chance for Ipswich after some great work from Hutchinson, who holds it up well and sweeps it wide to Burns. His cross is a good one, but it narrowly misses Delap and Szmodics.

More decent passing from United sees it worked wide to Amad, who lays it off to Eriksen, but the Dane can only fire wide from distance.
Ipswich work their first decent attack, and it ends with Delap hooking an effort over.

Barely any time to get settled, but it’s 1-0 at Portman Road. It was a scrappy first minute or so, but United have got themselves ahead thanks mainly to brilliant work from Amad Diallo.
The home side are enjoying some possession now though as they look to get back into it, and they win a corner.

GOAL! Well, not a bad start. United are ahead just after the minute mark!
It’s all about the wing-back play too, with Amad receiving the one-two pass in his own half and driving past a couple of challenges all the way into the Ipswich box. He cuts it back to Rashford, and the number nine manages to bundle it in at the near post!
