Ruben Amorim made his debut at the helm of the "Red Devils" draw with "Ipswich".
Manchester United drew away against Ipswich in the 12th round of the English Premier League (EPL) of the 2024/25 season. The match at the Portman Road stadium in Ipswich ended with a score of 1:1.
Marcus Rashford put the Mancunians ahead in the second minute of the match. The hosts tried to recoup and achieved what they wanted before the break – Omari Hutchinson scored in the 43rd minute.

It should be noted that before this, 39-year-old Amorim headed Lisbon’s Sporting. At the helm of Manchester United, he replaced Dutchman Erik ten Hag, who was sacked at the end of October.
