Team News

Ipswich
Man Utd
  • Ipswich are set to be without as many as six players through injury here.
  • Kalvin Phillips returns from suspension, but may not earn a starting place right away.
  • New Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim will be sweating over the fitness of a number of players ahead of his first match in charge.
  • Lisandro Martinez, Kobbie Mainoo, Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire are among those that will require assessment.
  • Predicting Amorim's first XI is a tough task, but images from training this week might provide hints for supporters.

Prediction

  • Ipswich picked up their first Premier League victory of the season at the 11th time of asking, when they claimed all three points away to Tottenham before the break.
  • The Tractor Boys head into the weekend a point above the relegation zone, with eight points amassed thus far.
  • Ruben Amorim heads to Portman Road for his first test as the new Manchester United head coach.
  • After Erik ten Hag's dismissal, interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy led United to three wins and one draw - with all four matches at Old Trafford.
  • Expect goals at both ends, but there should be a reaction - and therefore a result - for United under their new boss.

  • Amorim has to sell players before he can buy apparently.He has got his work cut out with this bunch of flops.

  • This team its a peace of shamw

  • I think it’s safe to say this once great Club might never find its way back. I fear that this kid (Amorin) will end up rather ruining a promising career with this move(rushed imo)

  • @galoise Just take a look at the subs he made and when he made them. I wouldn’t have done it different. On point, just not his day.

  • @galoise Not rushed, it’s the right move. Nistelrooy would have been the rushed one. Amorim is ready for this and it can skyrocket his career if he plays his cards right. No risk no gamble. The perfect gamble for me.

  • New coach, same team ������

  • Amiron tries to find a place for some players, which should be the message to each of the players "you have till the end of the season to prove yourself or goodbye from the club".

  • Diallo Amad Man of the Match for me.. Many players need to really buckle/improve or be sold, look how they kept losing the ball in midfield.. Was hilarious to watch .. Lol

  • New manager, same United. Typical borefest, Ipswich were the better side going forward. No card for this game is madness though, there were at least 3 yellow cards.

  • @Byakuya Mr Taylor is weak

  • This 3-4-3 has been terrible so far and MU giving Ipswich too much respect and inviting them to attack.

  • @Marbella This system is really good but not for lazy players.. They started well with the pressing and intensity but lost it mid way, maybe because they’re still getting used to it but I’d say too many mistakes in that midfield. That mid paring should be either Ugarte + Mainoo OR at the very least Ugarte + Bruno

  • Bruno F. To Score / Assist Anytime -105 / Diallo TSA +275

  • @KingKeno Rashy +200

  • @KingKeno Rashford +200

  • Man United Win

  • IPSWICH Muric, Tuanzebe, O'Shea, Burgess, Davis, Morsy, Cajuste, Burns, Hutchinson, Szmodics, Delap.

  • MAN UTD Onana, Dalot, De Ligt, Evans, Mazraoui, Fernandes, Eriksen, Casemiro, Diallo, Garnacho, Rashford.

  • @Marbella SUBS Bayinder, Malacia, Shaw, Mainoo, Mount, Ugarte, Antony, Hojlund, Zirkzee.

  • 30,000 sell out crowd at Portman Road.

  • I have had a large bet on Liverpool / Man Utd Win double @ 2.20 odds

  • 1-2 indeed

  • People were saying why one of the most promising managers in the world like Ten Hag would go to United, now the same happened with Amorim. Ten Hag had 73% win rate before he arrived, Amorim has 71%. He said that he rejected 4 offers from big clubs before, one is almost certainly Liverpool which he will probably regret this season. In terms of shot and big chance conversion, United ranks as one of the worst in the league currently. United need more than a new manager with these players, he has to do miracles. Surely he will win every game until Arsenal, we will see after that.

  • @Byakuya Amorim is not a manager but a "head coach". Hella of a difference.

  • @koziol.mutant Amorim in his live press conference said he is both a ' manager and head coach'.

  • Go go go Amorim!!

  • MOTM : Delap

  • Man Utd Win with the new manager bounce effect.

  • I love the potential in a 3- 4 - 2 - 1 formation. It's not a set up I've seen for any other team and it seems to be such an obvious awesome formation that I don't understand why I've never thought of it before and/or why isn't it already being used by other premiership teams. I can't see Shaw being fit but he will eventually be a great addition to the team/formation. Ideally I eventually see the line up being Yoro, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot, Ugarte, Mainoo, Shaw, Diallo, Fernandez, and Garnacho or Hojlund. - With plenty of other options for every position. Amorim looks like a perfect fit for Man United. A Pep type manager for years to come, potentially...I do hope so, soooo much....An era as successful as Fergusons, yes please.... Happy face.

  • @Caseyyy1 It’s not new, Atalanta plays same system and sometimes switch to the 3412 variation depending on opponent. It’s great for exposing opponents on the counter and also pressing and defending because when you soak up the press it becomes a 541 or 451.. But for this system to work the right stamina and mentality is required. I think Amorim should do what he did at Sporting, take the risk by scouting the MU academy ranks, flush out any unserious senior player.

  • Ipswich have scored in 8 of their 11 premier league matches this season.

  • the first match and win for Amorim

  • United to win by a quite a bit

  • united 2-0

  • first win for Amorim , united ht/ft
