Man United head coach Ruben Amorim is likely to continue testing the water over the next few games and weeks.
When Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho went to bed on Sunday night, he probably still had Ruben Amorim 's voice ringing in his ears.
In Amorim's 3-4-3 system, United's width is provided by the wing-backs. That was highlighted less than two minutes in when Amad went galloping down the right, beat his man and sent over a cross for Marcus Rashford to turn home. What was interesting at Portman Road was that Amorim, at half-time, adjusted Garnacho's role, bringing him over to the right-flank to ensure he was still on the same side of the pitch as he was stood, making it easier to hand out more instructions. Bruno Fernandes had played on the right in the first 45 minutes.
But during this period, where United's players are getting to grips with Amorim's methods and rotation is set to be a familiar theme, Amorim is within his rights to experiment. United should be striving to get on the front foot this evening and take the game to their Norwegian visitors. United are the big hitters in this season's competition and should be stamping their authority on matches, particularly at home against European minnows.
Long-term, both players should be striving to play in the front line, tasked with scoring and creating goals. In the short-term, however, they must be prepared to play in a slightly different habitat, just as Amad did against Ipswich Town.
