Roy Keane was not impressed with what he saw from Manchester United on Ruben Amorim’s debut.
The Red Devils took the lead after just two minutes at Ipswich Town but could not hold on, leaving Portman Road with a 1-1 draw.

It’s more, united had Andre Onana to thank for holding on for even a point, with the keeper making several great saves at key moments, including twice denying Liam Delap from close range.
Amorim, it will be clear now in the mammoth task ahead as he looks to return United to the Premier League’s elite after years in the relative wilderness.
Roy Keane gives a scathing assessment of Ruben Amorim’s Man Utd debut
Amorim has only had a full squad for a couple of days thanks to the international break.
However, former United captain Roy Keane remained typically brutal in his assessment of their performance against Ipswich Town, criticizing the players for producing the “same old stuff” and dismissing their top four hopes.
“This team, over the last year or two, has been all about moments,” Keane said Sky Sports after the match
“United sat back and you’re thinking, what are you waiting for? Go after them!
“They seemed afraid to continue and win the game. They lacked confidence and belief.
“Do I think they have the quality to get them back into the top four? Absolutely not. The evidence isn’t there.
“It’s the same stuff as always. Predictable and a real lack of quality”.
The games are fast and furious for Amorim and United, with home draws against Bodo/Glimt and Everton in the Europa League and Premier League respectively to set up for this coming week.
