Ipswich Hold Man United To 1-1 Draw In Amorim’s First Game In Charge

Manchester United had to settle for a 1-1 draw at lowly Ipswich Town in Rúben Amorim’s first match in charge.

Marcus Rashford’s early goal was cancelled out by a deflected strike from Omari Hutchinson in the Premier League on Sunday.

United silenced the home fans as they took the lead after 81 seconds through Rashford who stole in between two defenders to steer the ball home after a brilliant run down the right by Amad.

United keeper André Onana made a brilliant one-handed save to deny Liam Delap as halftime loomed but Ipswich equalised in the 43rd minute as Hutchinson curled a shot into the top corner helped by a deflection off visiting defender Noussair Mazraoui.

After the break Ipswich striker Sam Szmodics almost scored with a back-heel that Onana saved with his feet but neither side could find a winner.

The result leaves United in 12th place with 16 points, six off the top four. Ipswich are 18th with nine.
