Ipswich — Manchester United had to settle for a 1-1 draw at lowly Ipswich Town in Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim’s first match in charge as Marcus Rashford’s early goal was cancelled out by a deflected strike from Omari Hutchinson in the Premier League on Sunday.
United, who began with a 3-4-2-1 formation, 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, who then delivered the perfect cross.
United goalkeeper Andre 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.
