EPL: We could have lost - Amorim names player that stopped Man Utd from losing to Ipswich

Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim has hailed goalkeeper Andre Onana for his heroics as his side earned a 1-1 draw at Ipswich Town on Sunday.

Amorim who played his first United game as manager settled for a point against a fierce Ipswich side.

Marcus Rashford's first-half strike was cancelled by Omari Hutchinson before halftime.

Ipswich, however, had two good chances to score again. But Onana denied Liam Delap twice from close range.

“We have to win games, but we could lose if it was not for Onana, so I think we have to understand that and think and be pragmatic that these guys had two days to train to change so much,” Amorim said after the game.

“It’s hard for the players in three days to cope with everything, but we forget about the new idea.

“I think that’s why I was brought here in the middle of the season and we try to cope with the things they are used to doing [under Erik ten Hag].”
