The Ruben Amorim era at Manchester United is set to commence this weekend when the Red Devils travel to face Ipswich. Here are predictions, team news, betting tips, and possible line-ups for the game.
Amorim has been hard at work with the players who did not partake in international duty, putting them through their paces at the training ground. It will be intriguing to witness the early signs of his impact on the team.
Despite a largely disappointing season, Manchester United entered the international break on a positive note. Interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy guided the team to four unbeaten games, culminating in a 3-0 victory over Leicester City.
However, Ipswich Town, under former United coach Kieran McKenna, are no pushovers. The Tractor Boys have made a strong start to the season, defeating Tottenham Hotspur 2-1.
