MANCHESTER UNITED began the Ruben Amorim era with a 1-1 draw away at Ipswich.
Marcus Rashford needed just 81 seconds to put the Red Devils in front at Portman Road, tapping home an Amad Diallo cross.
But Ipswich hit back when Omari Hutchinson’s strike flew in via a deflection off Noussair Mazraoui.
And it was the newly-promoted side who pressed for a winner in the second period.
Amorim’s No1 Andre Onana kept the scores level with a number of impressive saves as the points were shared.
Here is how SunSport’s Charlie Wyett saw the performances of the Man Utd players.
United’s best player. Two key stops to deny Liam Delap but no chance for the deflected Omari Hutchinson goal.
Then delivered an 87th minute save to keep out an effort from Conor Chaplin.
Slotted in on the right of the three-man defence but unfortunate with the deflection for the goal.
Has been suspect this season and will probably be better suited to a back three although still given a tough time by Delap.
The 36-year-old was targeted by Ipswich for his lack of pace and no surprise he was replaced.
Did incredibly well to bomb past Jens Cajuste and deliver the cross for Rashford’s early goal and was still a threat at the end.
Some nice touches going forward but too lightweight in this position in front of the back three.
Lucky to start ahead of Manuel Ugarte and was really poor.

Casemiro struggled again before being substituted by Amorim[/caption]Struggled throughout before being subbed and could maybe have got a block to the Hutchinson shot.
Not suited to left wing-back although stayed there when Luke Shaw arrived because the English international replaced Evans in the back three.
Some of his link-up play was fine but United need a captain who can inspire this team and Fernandes is not the man.
Sent a free-kick flashing past the post with 12 minutes left.
Twice called over by Ruben Amorim in the first half for instructions.
Denied by a decent save from Aro Muric 50 seconds into the second half.
Criticised for his basketball trip to New York so to score after 80 seconds was two fingers up at his critics – but did not offer much after that.
Unused subs: Altay Bayindir Tyrell Malacia, Antony, Kobbie Mainoo.
