Ruben Amorim, the new Manchester United manager, praised Andre Onana for his crucial saves that helped secure a 1-1 draw at Ipswich Town on Sunday. In his first official match in charge, Amorim saw Marcus Rashford put United ahead early, but Omari Hutchinson equalized just before halftime. Ipswich had two strong chances to take the lead, but Onana made key saves, denying Liam Delap twice from close range.
Amorim acknowledged that the team needed to win but noted that they could have lost if not for Onana's heroics. He also highlighted the challenge of adapting to new strategies with only two days of training and emphasized the importance of being pragmatic. Amorim mentioned the difficulty of changing tactics mid-season, recognizing the players need to adjust while still carrying over elements of the previous system under Erik ten Hag.
