It took Manchester United just 81 seconds to score in Ruben Amorim’s first match at Ipswich on Sunday. Marcus Rashford tapped in Amad Diallo’s cross to give United a 1-0 lead at Portman Road. Amorim left Portuguese leaders Sporting Lisbon to replace the sacked Erik ten Hag as United manager. Diallo and Rashford were two of Amorim’s biggest selection calls for his first game and they were immediately proven right.
