Ipswich Town vs Manchester United: Team News and Predicted Lineups

Ipswich Town

Manager Kieran McKenna has a few selection headaches ahead of the clash. The good news is that Kalvin Phillips returns from suspension, while Jacob Greaves is close to full fitness after missing almost two months. Omari Hutchinson, Wes Burns, and Jack Taylor could also feature. However, Chiedozie Ogbene remains sidelined for the rest of the season.

Predicted Lineup (3-4-3): Muric; Tuanzebe, O’Shea, Burgess; Johnson, Morsy, Cajuste, Davis; Hutchinson, Delap, Szmodics.

Manchester United

New boss Ruben Amorim inherits a depleted squad for his debut game, with Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, and Leny Yoro among the long-term absentees. Harry Maguire and Kobbie Mainoo are also doubtful. However, Lisandro Martinez, Victor Lindelof, and Casemiro are expected to be available, giving Amorim some options as he transitions the team to his preferred 3-4-3 system.

Predicted Lineup (3-4-3): Onana; De Ligt, Evans, Martinez; Dalot, Casemiro, Ugarte, Mazraoui; Fernandes, Hojlund, Rashford.

Ipswich Town vs Manchester United: Head-to-Head Record

The last time these two sides met was in 2015, when Manchester United secured a 3-0 victory in the League Cup. Ipswich have yet to beat United in their last five encounters, with the Red Devils winning four and drawing one. However, Ipswich’s recent form, including a surprise win over Spurs, shows they shouldn’t be underestimated.

What to Expect

Manchester United fans are eager to see how Ruben Amorim’s tactical approach unfolds in his debut game. While Amorim hinted at sticking close to the lineups fielded by Ruud van Nistelrooy during his interim tenure, he emphasized that “things will look different” on the pitch. Ipswich, on the other hand, will aim to build on their first Premier League win of the season, having found form just before the international break.

Where to Watch

The Ipswich Town vs Manchester United match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League in the UK, while fans in the US can catch it on NBC Sports or Telemundo. Canadian viewers can tune in via fuboTV Canada. In India, fans can watch it on Hotstar.
