We are doing some things not in the right moment and that’s what we have to address.“In the first half they were a little bit afraid. We only had two days so they are confused. We have to be so much better physically to cope.“It’s hard to expect anything now. But by this time next year, I promise we won’t have the same struggles.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERS“It was a tough match. We started very well but then we should have had more of the ball, we gave it away too much.“The second half, we didn’t play very well but we controlled the game better. We created better chances than Ipswich but we have to find more time to work with the players because we can do much better.”Man Utd player ratings vs Ipswich (1)United, who have won just four league games all season, needed keeper Andre Onana to twice deny Liam Delap to avoid suffering a shock defeat at Portman Road. And Amorim added: “We have to win games but we could have lost if it was not for Onana, so we have to understand that and be pragmatic.“These guys had just two days to train to change so much.“It’s so clear for everybody that he saved us two times.“One important thing is he did long balls and tried to connect with players, that was good. He understood the idea. He did a great job.”Cameroonian stopper Onana, 28, said: “We are such a big club so there is no time to cry, we have to move on. Better days will come, it will not rain forever here.”’WE NEED TO ROTATE’Next up for Amorim are Norwegian minnows Bodo/Glimt at home in the Europa League on Thursday, which kicks off a run of ten games in just 32 days across three competitions.The 39-year-old’s first Premier League game at Old Trafford is Everton on Sunday lunchtime.Amorim is aware of United’s busy schedule in the next month and said: “Everybody is going to play, everybody is going to be on the bench.“With this schedule, we need to rotate the team.”On his first experience of the English top-flight, Amorim said: “You are lucky guys. You have the best by far — the best league in the world. And you see this every weekend.“But to tell the truth, when the game starts it’s the same thing since I was in the third division.“I’m so focused on the game and I’m playing with my players inside the pitch. But yes, you do have the best league in the world.”Asked about how Amorim has changed things since Erik ten Hag’s axing, Portugal defender Diogo Dalot, 25, said: “He has impacted straight away. The way he transmits ideas is really clear. We just need to put it into practice now.READ MORE SUN STORIES“We just need to be ready. For the standard of this club we have to get information really quick.“We have only been together with the international players for two or three days, so you have to give credit to everyone.”Man Utd ratings vs Ipswich as Onana saves Amorim from embarrassment in first game as bossMANCHESTER 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 looked likelier to get a winner in the second half.Here is how SunSport’s Charlie Wyett saw the performances of the Man Utd players…ANDRE ONANA – 7/10United’s best player.

IT took just 81 seconds for Ruben Amorim to sprinkle a little stardust on Manchester United.And it took 90-odd minutes for the new old Trafford boss to realise the scale of his task as he attempts to deal with Erik ten Hag’s legacy of plodding mediocrity.Ruben Amorim’s first Man Utd game ended in a 1-1 draw against IpswichCredit: APMarcus Rashford got United off to a flyer with an early strikeCredit: PAOmari Hutchinson netted Ipswich’s equaliser as the points were sharedCredit: PAAmorim has changed United’s shape to a 3-4-3 – but he cannot yet alter their lack of elite quality after failing to win a league match for the first time this season.The Portuguese, who won all 11 of his games at former side Sporting Lisbon, employed Amad Diallo at wing-back and saw him create a second-minute opener for Marcus Rashford, a surprise selection at centre-forward.But for the vast majority of this match, United were second-best to a newly-promoted Ipswich team which displayed superior desire and no little quality as they earned a point through Omari Hutchinson’s thunderous equaliser.Amorim can console himself that Sir Alex Ferguson lost at Oxford United in the first match of his epic reign – although he knows he is operating in less patient times.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLThe new manager reckons he requires two years to prove himself.
