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.

Hutchinson takes the free-kick and it’s curled on target, but too close to Onana.
There’s some better attacking play from United too, but it ends with Dalot clipping a cross straight into the gloves of Muric.

It’s a bit disjointed from both sides at the moment. Mazraoui spreads it to Diallo, but United are forced backwards before losing the ball. Delap leads the counter, and surges towards the box before winning a free-kick off Evans right on the edge of the box.

Ipswich win a corner after some good combination play from Burns and Szmodics. Davis delivers the set-piece, but Onana catches it fairly easily.
He releases it to Garnacho to start the counter, but the Argentinian is caught and dispossessed just before he could slip it through to Rashford.

Hutchinson’s ball in is headed away by Amad and then Garnacho does well to keep the ball and win a free-kick. Still not a lot happening at Portman Road at the moment.

Amad is down briefly after a slightly late challenge from Burgess, but he should be okay to carry on.

Garnacho plays a one-two with Fernandes on the edge of the box before curling a decent effort just wide of the far post.

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.
