Eamon Dunphy Column as Ruben Amorim leads Manchester United to a point away to struggling Ipswich Town in his first game in charge
It won’t take a top coach like Ruben Amorim long to figure out that one of his biggest problems at Manchester United is the quality of the squad at his disposal, writes Eamon Dunphy .It’s crazy to think that over €600m was spent on the team that was put out yesterday to face an Ipswich side that probably didn’t even cost €60m.
Amorim has his goalkeeper Andre Onana to thank for preserving an unbeaten start to his career as Manchester United boss. It’s far too early to draw any conclusions on the Amorim reign. But there is one thing that United fans should watch out for. I think the person who would have been most pleased yesterday was Kieran McKenna, the young Ipswich Town coach.
Luke Shaw coming back into the team is a big plus for United, but they do look short of players and I think the system might need a rethink.It’s early days and they got off to a dream start, but one of the issues facing their new manager is how to handle yesterday’s goalscorer. There is a lot to be done, but it’s not a bad start because Ipswich, despite their position in the table, are a well organised group of players. They play as a team and they have a really good coach.
