- Ruben Amorim’s era at Manchester United started with a frustrating 1-1 draw away at Ipswich Town
- The Red Devils were underwhelming on Sunday despite making a perfect start at Portman Road
- According to Owen Hargreaves, the former Sporting CP coach was impressed with three of his players
Ruben Amorim’s first match as Manchester United coach ended in a frustrating draw at Ipswich.
The Red Devils scored early in the game but were unconvincing for the rest of the game and had to settle for a draw.
Former Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves said the new coach was not impressed with three players.
How Ipswich vs Man United unfolded
Marcus Rashford scored in the second minute thanks to some excellent work from Amad Diallo. However, Ipswich were rewarded with an equaliser after an onslaught on Man United’s goal.
Omari Hutchinson slotted past Andre Onana, who had pulled a world-class save earlier, per Sky Sports. The Red Devils failed to find a winner in the second half, leaving Amorim with plenty of work to do.
The 20-time English champions are 12th in the Premier League with 16 points after 12 matches. They are six points off the top four.
Which Man United players frustrated Amorim?
Amorim’s first game was evidence of how far Man United are from the top. Hargreaves, who sat behind the Portuguese coach while working as a pundit, said Amorim was frustrated with several players, per Sportbible.
“He was pretty frustrated, I’m not going to lie. He was right in front of me and he was really, really frustrated with a lot of things.”
“I think initially, Dalot’s positioning, I think he was a little bit frustrated with that in the first half,” Hargreaves added.
The Premier League winner said the former Sporting CP coach was not happy with the club’s two senior strikers,
“I think the midfield balance he didn’t really like, and when Zirkzee came on I don’t think he was overly happy with his positioning, and Hojlund as well.”
The Red Devils could right some wrongs when they face Bodo/Glimt on Thursday in the Europa League.
