Manchester United welcome Kieran McKenna’s Ipswich Town to Old Trafford on Wednesday. After securing a late draw against Everton, the Reds will aim to start strong and avoid needing to come from behind to earn points against the Tractor Boys.
Team News
Leny Yoro, Manuel Ugarte, and Christian Eriksen returned to the matchday squad against Everton, with Ugarte sealing a late draw for the Reds with a stunning volley. Neither Yoro nor Eriksen started at the weekend and could step into Amorim’s eleven after the short turnaround.
Academy players Chido Obi, Sekou Kone, Elyh Harrison, and Ayden Heaven have featured in the last two matchday squads. Each player should retain their spot due to the ongoing injury crisis affecting numerous players. Obi is the only one who has played, with the 17-year-old accumulating 23 minutes across two appearances.
Toby Collyer is nearing a return after a recent training injury, while Altay Bayindir, Tom Heaton, Mason Mount, and Luke Shaw will miss the midweek match but could return in the coming weeks.
Kobbie Mainoo and Amad Diallo are long-term absentees and could miss the rest of the season, while Lisandro Martinez may be out through the start of the next campaign.
Predicted Lineup
Goalkeeper: Andre Onana
Defenders: Leny Yoro, Harry Maguire, Matthijs De Ligt
Midfielders: Diogo Dalot, Bruno Fernandes, Manuel Ugarte, Patrick Dorgu
Attackers: Alejandro Garnacho, Christian Eriksen, Joshua Zirkzee
