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.

There’ll be four minutes of added time here. It’s Ipswich on the attack, but they lose it as Clarke’s ball flies out of play.

Coming into the final minute of the match and neither side looks like they’re going to win it. It’s all very pedestrian once again, but it’s the home side who are applying the pressure at the moment.

The free-kick routine isn’t a great one, but the home side get a second chance as Clarke takes the ball down and lays it off to Chaplin, who perhaps wasn’t expecting it and he fires his effort straight at Onana.

Garnacho’s attempted ball over the top to Hojlund runs to Muric, but it was the right idea. Ipswich enjoy a little spell of possession, and Clarke wins a free-kick off Mazraoui.
Mason Mount comes on for the away side, replacing Alejandro Garnacho.

There was a break in play while Mazraoui received some treatment, but he’s fine to carry on.

Ruben Amorim is, perhaps understandably, looking a little concerned on the sidelines. It’s been a limp performance from his side despite a great start.
Ipswich bring off Burns and Delap for Chaplin and Al Hamadi.

Fernandes’ give-and-go with Hojlund ends with the Portuguese winning a free-kick near the edge of the box. He lines it up from about 25 yards and it’s a good effort, but it fizzes just wide of the post.

Zirkzee gets his first sight of goal as the space opens up ahead of him, but he just doesn’t look confident and his effort flies well over.

Davis is caught on the ball by Zirkzee but luckily Muric is there to sweep up the danger. The game has slowed down a lot now – it’s certainly not an entertaining one.

United are seeing plenty of possession but they don’t have a lot to show for it at the moment. Fernandes plays a lovely ball over the top to Garnacho, who fizzes in a cross that just misses Amad at the back post.
