Manchester United were forced to accept a point by Ipswich Town after a 1-1 draw in Ruben Amorim’s first outing as Manchester United’s head coach, despite an early goal from England’s Marcus Rashford, who scored Manchester United’s goal in just 81 seconds of the game.
This goal marks Marcus Rashford’s first goal of the Premier League since September, ending his eight-game drought in all competitions through a low cross from Amad Diallo.
Despite the early goal from Manchester United, Ipswich Town did not wait much before adding pressure into the game, responding through Omari Hutchinson’s before the end of the first half.
Omari Hutchinson fired a shot that was deflected off by Noussair Mazraoui, beating Manchester United’s goalkeeper to mark Mazraoui’s first goal since he joined the club with a £20 million summer transfer.
Ruben Amorim’s men find it difficult to dominate the match, with Ipswich Town creating chances that could have destroyed Manchester United. Andre Onana saves helped Manchester United from further losing the one point as he denied Liam Delap’s effort from finding the net.
Ipswich kept a lot of pressure on its defense, denying a late free-kick opportunity by Bruno Fernandes.
This draw left the Red Devils in the bottom of the table after playing 12 matches this season so far, while it was not enough to take Ipswich Town out of the relegation zone. Ipswich comes behind Wolves, sharing the same points but losing on goal difference after Wolves defeated Fulham.
American R&B star Ed Sheeran, who is also a minority shareholder and a great fan of Ipswich Town, celebrated the team’s spirit against Manchester United.
