Marcus Rashford needs just 81 SECONDS to get Ruben Amorim’s Man Utd reign off to perfect start
MARCUS RASHFORD got the Ruben Amorim era at Manchester United off to the perfect start by scoring after just 81 SECONDS.
Amorim’s side went down to Ipswich for the first game in charge since the former Sporting Lisbon boss took over.

Much had been made about Amorim’s proposed switch to a back three with wing-backs.
But with only two natural centre-backs named in the starting XI for the Ipswich clash there was concern over how it might work.
However, those questions were dismissed as right wing-back Amad Diallo burst through the Tractor Boys defence and towards the penalty area.
He then whipped a cross into the penalty area which found Rashford who was playing at centre-forward.
The 27-year-old was then able to sidefoot the ball into the back of the net with a deft touch past goalkeeper Arijanet Muric.
SunSport had taken a look at how Rashford might rediscover his goalscoring touch under Amorim as a central striker or on the left-side of the front three.
