Ruben Amorim 'gives Man Utd players ratings out of 10' as dressing room 'source' leaks what happened after Ipswich draw

Ruben Amorim gave Manchester United players a rating out of 10 for his first game in charge at Ipswich, reports say.

Amorim's Premier League managerial debut ended in a 1-1 draw at Portman Road after Omari Hutchinson cancelled out an early opener from Marcus Rashford after just 80 seconds.

After showing some promise with Amorim's preferred 3-4-3 system in the opening stages, United struggled to implement the new style after just a few training sessions with the new boss and Andre Onana was forced into making a number of crucial saves to ensure the Red Devils left with a point.

They remain 12th in the Premier League and the display was a reminder of the tough task Amorim has in attempting to bring the good times back at Old Trafford.

And details have emerged regarding how Amorim reflected on his first game in the English top flight. The Sun say that the former Sporting CP boss delivered a rating on how United players fared, giving them a five for what they produced and criticising a couple of players.

While he was surprised by the intensity that Ipswich brought and frustrated with some players, he was calm in knowing that plenty of work needs to be done.

A dressing room source quoted by The Sun said: "Amorim said their performance was a five out of ten.

"He was impressed with Ipswich and thought the game was played at an incredible intensity.

"But he added that it showed just how much United need to improve. He was critical of one or two players for losing the ball and not being in the right positions.

"But he also said, ‘Some of you I’ve had for two days, some two weeks’, so he was realistic. He did say they were going to have to learn quickly."

Amorim had Amad Diallo playing as a right wing-back, as well as bringing Rashford back into a central striking role and deploying Noussair Mazraoui as a central defender in a back three.

Jonny Evans was on the left side of the backline before being replaced by the returning Luke Shaw in the second half.

Assessing how his team fared, Amorim felt that United's players were thinking too much about instructions from staff but like that they tried to apply the principles discussed.

Speaking after the game, Amorim commented: "They tried to do it, that's the main point. We have a lot to improve, but they tried. This is the first point; the most important point.

"They were thinking too much during the game, trying to cope with everything we said during training. But it was [just] two trainings."

He continued: "We could win this game, but also Onana did great saves. It's always tough to play in this league and we will improve in the future."

Amorim's second game in charge is a Europa League clash with Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt at Old Trafford on Thursday.
