Ipswich vs Manchester United LIVE: Premier League result and final score from Ruben Amorim’s first game

Ipswich vs Manchester United LIVE: Premier League result and final score from Ruben Amorim’s first game

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:

New boss Ruben Amorim settles for point on Man Utd debut as Ipswich fight back

19:15 , Chris Wilson

Ruben Amorim had to settle for a point on his debut as Manchester United head coach after Omari Hutchinson cancelled out Marcus Rashford’s second-minute opener in an end-to-end 1-1 Premier Leaguedraw at Ipswich.

Amorim had dubbed himself ‘the smiling one’ on Friday but was motionless when Rashford tapped home after 81 seconds following excellent play by Amad Diallo, who was used at right wing-back.

Newly-promoted Town, buoyed by a first league win of the season at Tottenham a fortnight ago, responded with aplomb and levelled after 43 minutes through Hutchinson’s deflected left-footed strike.

More from Amorim

19:10 , Chris Wilson

Another interesting snippet from Amorim, who adds: “We have to try to since the first moment, we have to address the new idea and try to be better next year at the same stage.

“Decision-making is a concern, you don’t need to coach them in this level. We are doing some things not in the right moment and that’s what we have to address.

“The 3-4-3 is not the concern, the understanding of the game is what we have to improve.”

Amorim: “I just want to work with my players"

18:58 , Chris Wilson

Ruben Amorim has plenty to say on Sky, and he mentions that “I think my players were thinking too much”.

“We lost some balls without pressure. But they really, really tried and they want this.

“They want this, the players want this, they don’t know how to get it that was my feeling.

“You start discovering things that you didn’t know like Garna, can hold the ball between lines, you can understand that by seeing the games because he’s always open so you try to find these things.

“Bruno Fernandes, he improved his game by playing near the ball. So he can give us the long pass but you cannot put him there all the time because he wants the long pass all the time.

“We will try to find a lot of things about the players, we will need a lot of time to work out these things.”

“This week I spoke more [to the media] than I did in four years at Sporting. I just want to work with my players. Nothing more,” he says as he wraps it up.

The referee blows the final whistle and it’s a disappointing start to Ruben Amorim’s tenure. He looks like a man who knows he has plenty of work to do.

Ruben Amorim is, perhaps understandably, looking a little concerned on the sidelines. It’s been a limp performance from his side despite a great start.

Fernandes’ give-and-go with Hojlund ends with the Portuguese winning a free-kick near the edge of the box. He lines it up from about 25 yards and it’s a good effort, but it fizzes just wide of the post.

United are seeing plenty of possession but they don’t have a lot to show for it at the moment. Fernandes plays a lovely ball over the top to Garnacho, who fizzes in a cross that just misses Amad at the back post.

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.

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.

There’s a brief break in play once more as the referee informs the players that there is a problem at Stockley Park, and so VAR is currently not operational. Let’s hope nothing contentious happens then.

35 mins

Davis is okay to carry on, and play resumes with Szmodics sweeping it out to Burns, whose cross is blocked. Moments later, Garnacho is found near halfway and he’s almost clean through, but he can’t win the footrace with Tuanzebe, and the chance goes begging.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Match facts

16:15 , Chris Wilson

This will be Rúben Amorim’s first match in charge of Manchester United. Aged 39 years and 302 days on the day of this game, he’s the youngest to take charge of his first match for the Red Devils since Wilf McGuinness in August 1969 (31y 288d).

Manchester United have won 17 of their last 19 Premier League games against newly promoted opponents (D2) since a 4-1 loss at Watford in November 2021. Away from home, they have won their last nine league games at promoted sides; in English top-flight history, only Chelsea have won 10+ away matches in succession against such opponents (21 in a row from October 2002 to November 2008).

Alejandro Garnacho has been directly involved in 20 Premier League goals for Manchester United (13 goals, 7 assists), one of only two non-British players to reach that figure for the Red Devils before turning 21, along with Cristiano Ronaldo (25 – 14 goals, 11 assists).

Match facts

16:10 , Chris Wilson

Ipswich have lost four of their last five Premier League games against Man Utd (D1), failing to score in each defeat. This is their first such meeting since a 1-0 home loss in April 2002.

They are looking to earn back-to-back wins in the Premier League for the first time since February 2002 (a run of four that started with a 2-1 win against Tottenham).

Ipswich are the only side without a home win in the Premier League this season (P5 D3 L2). Only five newly promoted sides have failed to win their opening six home matches of a Premier League campaign, all of which went on to be relegated: Swindon Town in 1993/94, Crystal Palace in 1997/98, Norwich City in 2004/05, Sunderland in 2005/06, and Burnley in 2023/24.

Head-to-head

16:05 , Chris Wilson

These two sides have met 51 times in the past, though not since 2015, when United won 3-0 in an FA Cup tie.

The last time the two sides met in the league was in 2002, when United ran out 1-0 winners thanks to a penalty from Ruud Van Nistelrooy.

Overall, United have won 25 meetings, Ipswich have won 17, and nine have ended as draws.

McKenna: “I think we have enough depth to be competitive"

15:57 , Chris Wilson

In his pre-match press conference, Kieran McKenna said that he thinks that his side “ have enough depth at the moment to be competitive in the match”.

“We are going to put out the team we think gives us the best chance to win the game.

“We will have some good options and hopefully if we can get a few players back in the next week or so we will have a strong squad available for a busy run of games.

“We’ve had the balance of a little bit of rest – because we know it is a busier spell coming up now right through until the March international fixtures – but also some good preparation time. Preparation time that has been important with the team we are facing next under new management.

“It’s been about getting them focused and ready for a big performance on Sunday.”

Leading Man Utd back to top a ‘huge responsibility’, says new boss Ruben Amorim

15:50 , Chris Wilson

Ruben Amorim is relishing the “huge responsibility” of taking Manchester United back to the top as the new head coach prepares to take charge for the first time at Ipswich.

Having stayed at Sporting Lisbon for three final matches after being named Erik ten Hag’s successor on November 1, the 39-year-old will finally be in the Red Devils’ dugout for Sunday’s trip to Portman Road.

Quite the task awaits Amorim given underperforming United entered the weekend 13th in the Premier League standings with a paltry four wins from their opening 11 matches.

Form guide

15:42 , Chris Wilson

Before the international break, Ipswich won their first game of the season with a 2-1 victory at Spurs. In the four matches before that, they had had three losses and a draw, including a 4-3 loss to Brentford and 4-1 loss to West Ham.

Kieran McKenna’s side sit 19th in the league, but only one point away from the safety zone.

United have had mixed results themselves, though things have picked up slightly since Erik ten Hag was sacked. They beat Leicester 3-0 last time out, and beat PAOK in the Europa League after a draw to Chelsea at Old Trafford.

They sit 12th on just 15 points as things stand.

Why Ruben Amorim can succeed where previous Manchester United managers have failed

15:35 , Chris Wilson

In preparing for his presentation as Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim has been mindful of an idea that has guided his coaching career so far. That is, if you can’t say something in a single sentence, don’t do it. Work on it, so it’s clear.

That approach has never been more necessary than at Old Trafford, where constant noise and fire have created this fog around one of English football’s great institutions. The team, as much as anything else, could do with some simple clarity.

That is what the players have found in Amorim’s training sessions. They’ve been impressed by the focus of his instructions, as he immerses himself in the drills. It’s only a decade since Amorim was a player, after all. The image so far has been assured.

Manchester United are preparing to embark on a new era as Ruben Amorim takes charge for their Premier League fixture against Ipswich.

The Portuguese manager arrived at Old Trafford during the international break after being identified as Erik ten Hag’s permanent successor.

He will now get to work on continuing the club’s strong recent form, with interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy overseeing a promising period.

And Amorim could be immediately boosted by a couple of injury returnees.

Smiling but uncompromising, Ruben Amorim reveals how he will shape Manchester United

15:00 , Chris Wilson

Ruben Amorim was running through Manchester United’s recent managerial history. “The guys who won everything like [Louis] van Gaal and [Jose] Mourinho,” he said. “New ones who knew the club inside out like [Ole Gunnar] Solskjaer, and one of the best that there will ever be outside the five strongest leagues was [Erik] ten Hag. You have different type of coaches, the same result.”

That result sometimes involved a cup or two, but never a true title challenge. None ultimately succeeded; not by the standards of what Amorim called a “global” club, “still the best” in England. All of which may have deterred many a manager. Old Trafford, arguably, has been a graveyard for them. Brushing aside the suggestion it has become the impossible job, Amorim instead arrived with a belief that he can end the trend of disappointment, with a confidence that did not come across as arrogance.

It is two decades since another wunderkind of Portuguese coaching anointed himself a “Special One”. Amorim came with a message from Mourinho, an open acknowledgement he is influenced by him, yet differentiating himself from his predecessor. There was charisma with less bravado, a coach positioning himself for the future, not yesterday’s man.

What is the team news?

Omari Hutchinson, Wes Burns and Nathan Broadhead are doubts, as is Kalvin Phillips after serving a one-game ban. Jacob Greaves and Jack Taylor could return.

Leny Yoro and Luke Shaw were able to return to training before the international break but Lisandro Martinez is a doubt after withdrawing from international duty due to back pain. Ruben Amorim has committed to playing 3-4-3 from his first game.

Good afternoon

Ruben Amorim takes charge of Manchester United for the first time as the Portuguese coach takes his new team to Ipswich in the Premier League.

Amorim was appointed following the sacking of Erik ten Hag - and interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy steadied the ship with a win and a draw in the league.

Former Sporting coach Amorim will seek to build on the 3-0 win over Leicester while starting to implement his own ideas on his new players, as United look to climb the table.

Ipswich also want to improve their position after claiming their first win since returning to the top flight in the 2-1 victory over Tottenham before the international break.under Louis van Gaal.

This fixture also brings a reunion for Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna, who was an assistant coach at Manchester United.
