This Sunday, the Red Devils faced Ipswich Town in a match which was to mark a new chapter for the club. Marcus Rashford quickly opened the scoring in the 2nd minute. However, hopes of a winning start were dampened when Omari Hutchinson equalized in the 43rd minute, sealing the match at 1-1.

Known for his methodical approach and focus on the pitch, the Portuguese has made clear his desire to focus on the development of his team, without external distractions.
