Manchester United played a 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town in Ruben Amorim’s first game in charge of the club.
The Red Devils started the match convincingly with Marcus Rashford giving them the lead inside two minutes.
The attacker finished off an opportunity created from the right side of the attack and showed that his positioning inside the box is one of his best attributes.
The hosts replied in the first half with a long range effort from Omari Hutchinson, which took a slight deflection from a Man United defender and went past goalkeeper Andre Onana.
The Red Devils failed to score in the second half despite giving it their all in attack.
Amorim sent Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee on at the same time in order to search for a long but the match ended 1-1 which was a fair result.
After the final whistle, the Man United boss was seen telling the players to join together and applaud the away fans who have travelled to support the team.
He joined the players and the staff in thanking the fans for their support, which says a lot about Amorim and the culture is he trying to bring to the club.
