New Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim admitted that his side might have lost their 1-1 draw with the Blues at Portman Road but for keeper Andre Onana’s performance.
The Cameroonian international made big saves from Liam Delap in each half and also made a vital stop from Conor Chaplin in the closing moments.
Amorim, who took his team for only two training sessions ahead of today’s game, warns that it will take a while for his ideas to be instilled into his new players.
"We are going to suffer for a long period, and we will try to win games,” he said after the match.
"This will take time, but I know we have to win games. We could have won, we could have lost if it were not for Onana.
"We have to understand that and think and be pragmatic that these guys had two days to train and to change so much.”
The former Sporting Lisbon boss says his team were acting instinctively during the match.
"I think my players were thinking too much during the game,” he added. "You could feel it. They were thinking not just on the ball but about where they were supposed to be.
"In the first half, we needed more physicality. We will have problems; the players will be confused sometimes. But we have to address, [from] this moment, the new ideas and try to be better next year at the same stage.”
