The coach who successfully brought Sporting Lisbon to win Primeira Liga 2020/2021 and 2023/2024 certainly has pressure to prove himself better than Ruud Van Nistelrooy or Erik ten Hag who contributed two titles to MU.
Both teams have big ambitions to continue their positive momentum. This duel is in the spotlight because the promotion team, Ipswich Town, which despite being in the relegation zone, has impressed this season.
They were only two points adrift of Leicester City and managed to get out of the relegation zone after winning their first Premier League win in week 11.
On the other hand, Manchester United are enjoying the revival of performance after the last few weeks. The team, which had experienced difficulties under manager Erik ten Hag, rose under carteker Ruud van Nistelrooy. Ruben Amorim is now taking over as the main coach with new hopes for the Red Devils camp.
The last meeting between Ipswich Town and Manchester United in the Premier League took place in 2002. Uniquely, the single goal at that time was scored by Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was kicked after successfully bringing United unbeaten in a period of shift from ten Hag to Amorim.

Other players, such as Nathan Broadhead (warffe), Wes Burns (light injury), Jacob Greaves (paha), Jack Taylor (unknown injury), and Omari Hutchinson (leg) are also doubtful. Meanwhile, Janoi Donacien (arid), Chiedozie Ogbene (achilles), and George Hirst (lutut) are confirmed to be absent.
Manchester United is also facing an injury crisis despite having good news. Leandro Martinez, who was previously absent from a back injury, is likely to return to play, as well as Kobbie Mainoo, who is expected to recover from a hamstring injury. However, Harry Maguire (betis) and Victor Lindelof (warf of the thigh) are still absent.
Ipswich Town is expected to perform in a 4-2-3-1 formation, relying on Arijanet Muric under the crossbar. Axel Tuanzebe, Dara O'Shea, Cameron total, and Leif Davis will form a back line, while Samy Morsy and Jens Cajuste will duet in midfield. Omari Hutchinson, Ben Johnson, and Sammie Szmodics will support Liam Delap up front.
Manchester United will most likely carry a 3-4-3 formation with Andre Onana as goalkeeper. The centre-back trio consists of Matthijs de Ligt, Jonny Evans, and Leandro Martinez. Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui will fill the wing, while Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo will set the balance in midfield. Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho, and Rasmus Hojlund will be the focus of the attack.
