Ipswich Town vs Manchester United Preview
- Tournament: English Premier League
- Date: Sunday, November 24
- Kick-off Time: 04:30 PM GMT
- Venue: Portman Road, Ipswich, England.
Coming Sunday, a new era is set to begin for Manchester United FC. After the disappointing end to the Erik ten Hag era as the coach of the side, and Ruud van Nistelrooy’s short spell as the caretaker, Ruben Amorin from Portugal takes charge for his first game at the helm. Being the 39-year-old tactician’s first game as head coach of the club, the stakes are huge.
The stakes in this English Premier League 2024-25 game for hosts Ipswich Town are also threatening. They are trembling at the 17th spot with just eight points from 11 games and will be required to take advantage of a change in seat at United to book a full three points against the biggies and stay away from the relegation zone.
Manchester United are doing better after a poor start under their previous Dutch coach. Ruud van Nistelrooy’s efforts did yield results for a short spell, so they must be in better shape and hope for full points to start the new tenure under Ruben Amorin with a bang. They have just 15 points from 11 games, way below their standards, but a few wins will see them rise up the ranks.

Key Players to Watch in Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
Dara O’Shea (Ipswich Town)
The new arrival from Burnley has been probably their best defender this season. He is playing from the fourth game and has been playing full minutes since then. His able tackling, and skill to reflect shots have saved the club on many occasions. He was crucial in the defence in the club’s win against giants Tottenham Hotspurs in the last PL outing.
He needs to stay firm against the five-man midfield, and three-man forward to save points for his team at home.
Amad Diallo (Manchester United)
The number 16 is expected to operate from the right as usual, but this time he is expected to play better, as he will be getting more support from the midfield, which is expected to consist of five players, to give constant support to the three forwards.
Diallo has a goal against Brighton, and two assists in the league so far. But now his contributions need to increase, given the tactical change that occurs. Goals in this game can be expected also for a leaky defence of Ipswich Town.
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United Prediction
One thing is for sure in this game, we are about to expect something different, and this makes this game an interesting one. Ruben Amorim will come with new tactics, and Manchester United players need to execute it well, it would be challenging but fun to watch at the same time. Manchester United defeating Ipswich Town comfortably is being predicted, as with a new manager initially good form is observed.
Predicted Score: Ipswich Town 0-1 Manchester United
