I think thats common sense. Start a team hes seen in training.
Or Would you much prefer him to pick a team by using a tombola machine instead?

Casemiro and Rashford certainly playing like they had a great trip to the USA on their holidays.

Luke Shaw is like a new signing!
As I said, I’m content he’s picked the players he’s had the opportunity to work with.

I'm glad Rashford got that early goal. Otherwise, I'd dread to think what his match rating might be
How many extra points does the goal give? Judgement call, but in this instance?

For those who just watch MOTD2, probably an extra 5 or 6 points out of 10.
For those who watched the match, might boost his score up to 0.5?

Great shot by Zirkzee. It was dipping, gradually

Well, this has fizzled out.
Much work to be done, methinks.

Yes but at least they looked like they were putting the effort in.
Some nice footy from both teams but final ball and finishing wasn’t great.
With the likes of Shaw, Mainoo and Mount available again, and Martinez to come back, I’m more than happy.
Let’s be honest, all United fans know there are players in that starting lineup who will not be starters when Amorim has had some time with this squad.
But the lack of cutting edge up front is a huge concern.

Impressed with some of the play from Ipswich - deserved better finishing
Man Utd had some good moments but most of it seemed to be from individual bits of excellence
Got some big choices as think Rashford is better from the wide areas and they would get more from Hojlund going through the middle
So someone from Garnacho , Fernandes and Rashford needs to miss out
Need some big personnel changes to get to his system and think to fund it some players need to be sold -again one of those three already mentioned

Amorim needs time. Kneejerk reactions to both good and bad results wont help him.

Need to be better going forward. They didn’t seem to know what to do near Ipswich’s box at all.

RIghtly so.
But, he's watched Rashford closely and he still picked him. If there was any doubt, he couldve had a free hit and picked A N.Other and had the full backing of the man united SM faithful.
From what ive seen, you are barking up the wrong tree. Garnacho's end product is poor and if i expressed my true feelings of Fernandes i would be reprimanded by the mods!!

Think having Mount there you can afford to let Fernandes go , and maybe it’s worth letting Garnacho go as well as don’t think his end product is good enough
Need to find a lot more intensity and certainly need players that run through brick walls and just keep on going , not sure players like Fernandes is going to do that
I’m surprised he went with Rashford through the middle. That’s the one selection today which surprised me - have Hojlund through the middle with either Garnacho or Rashford, both of whom were poor today, starting wide left.
Amorim needs to settle on his first choice back three, and I can’t see beyond Martinez, De Ligt and Yoro, once fit. He then has a number of choices to make and has options available to him pretty much everywhere apart from up top. His only option there, in this squad, is Hojlund. Rashford never has been a CF, and never will be. And Zirkzee looks a more curious signing every time I see him - does some really nice stuff, but has a real tendency to look baffled when he has time to make a decision.
There are too many players currently featuring on match days who simply aren’t the future. But equally Amorim does have players available to him who he can definitely work with. He just needs to find a way to best accommodate them. And that won’t happen overnight.
