Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim says that risks must be taken in the short-term to ensure the Reds can make long-term progress.
All appeared to be going to script in the Portuguese's first match in charge, when Marcus Rashford netted with merely two minutes on the clock at Portman Road.
But Ipswich fought back and, after a tense 90 minutes, the spoils were shared in a 1-1 draw.
Following the game, Amorim was appreciative of the effort his players put in to the apply the system he wants to adopt, despite limited time on the training pitch with a full cohort of players.
