Ruben Amorim's debut at Manchester United raises questions about future roles for key forwards

dailystar.co.uk

Ruben Amorim's first match as Manchester United manager ended in a draw against Ipswich Town, raising questions about the future of forwards Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee. Amorim chose Marcus Rashford as a center forward, a departure from usual tactics. Rashford scored early but was substituted in the second half, along with Christian Eriksen, as Amorim sought a winning goal. This decision left Hojlund and Zirkzee, both expensive signings, on the bench as substitutes. United has struggled to score this season, sitting near the bottom in goals. Amorim's tactical choices may continue to evolve, leaving the roles of Hojlund and Zirkzee uncertain moving forward.
