**Rashford's Early Strike Highlights Rúben Amorim’s Debut as Manchester United Manager**

Rúben Amorim’s debut as Manchester United manager started with a bang when Marcus Rashford netted a goal just 81 seconds into the Premier League match against Ipswich Town on Sunday. According to ESPN's Stats and Information Group (SIG), this lightning-fast goal is the quickest United has scored this season across all competitions.

Adopting his familiar three-at-the-back formation, Amorim saw instant results. Amad Diallo, operating as a makeshift right-back, executed a blistering run down the touchline and delivered a near-post cross that Rashford expertly converted. The rapid goal also marked the fastest goal of Rashford's career, surpassing his previous record set in a 2016 match for England against Australia.

Interestingly, Rashford has a noted history of early goals under new management. Back in December 2018, during Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first game as United manager, Rashford also scored within the opening three minutes. These quick starts illustrate the forward's knack for seizing the moment in debut matches.
