Ipswich host Manchester United in Sunday’s late Premier League kick off as Ruben Amoriom takes charge of his first game since making the move to Old Trafford.
The Portuguese coach was appointed following the sacking of Erik ten Hag and should benefit from Ruud van Nistelrooy’s steadying interim period which saw the team win three of their last four games across all competitions.
Work still needs to be done though as United sit 13th though the gap between them and a top four spot is just four points. Amorim has been drilling the squad in his preferred 3-4-3 system so expect a new look formation when the teams take to the pitch today.
As for Ispwisch, they also want to improve their position after securing their first league win of the season in a 2-1 victory over Tottenham. Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna was an assistant coach at United and will hope to get one over his old club this afternoon.

Ipswich 0-1 Manchester United
Hutchinson takes the free-kick and it’s curled on target, but too close to Onana.
There’s some better attacking play from United too, but it ends with Dalot clipping a cross straight into the gloves of Muric.

It’s a bit disjointed from both sides at the moment. Mazraoui spreads it to Diallo, but United are forced backwards before losing the ball. Delap leads the counter, and surges towards the box before winning a free-kick off Evans right on the edge of the box.

Ipswich win a corner after some good combination play from Burns and Szmodics. Davis delivers the set-piece, but Onana catches it fairly easily.
He releases it to Garnacho to start the counter, but the Argentinian is caught and dispossessed just before he could slip it through to Rashford.

Hutchinson’s ball in is headed away by Amad and then Garnacho does well to keep the ball and win a free-kick. Still not a lot happening at Portman Road at the moment.

Amad is down briefly after a slightly late challenge from Burgess, but he should be okay to carry on.

Garnacho plays a one-two with Fernandes on the edge of the box before curling a decent effort just wide of the far post.

Amad tries to slip a through ball into the path of Fernandes, but it’s cut out. They got the early goal, but United haven’t clicked since in attack.

Not a lot to report from Portman Road since that last chance. Both sides have been guilty of giving the ball away a little too easily at times, with neither side really dominating.
