This Sunday, Ruben Amorim will lead Manchester United for the first time as they take on Ipswich Town in the Premier League.
Having been appointed as Erik ten Hag’s replacement at Old Trafford on November 1, Amorim has been waiting to begin his tenure due to the recent international break.
His opening challenge is against Ipswich, who achieved a notable 2-1 victory over Tottenham right before the break.
Manager Kieran McKenna, a former assistant at United, aims to secure another significant win against his previous club.
The Sporting News provides an update on team news and expected lineups for their encounter at Portman Road.
Lineups and Team News for Ipswich Town vs. Man United
McKenna has had this match marked on his timeline since earning promotion last season, but he faces a challenging situation with injury worries.
Nathan Broadhead, Wesley Burns, and Jacob Greaves are uncertain for this match, while Janoi Donacien and Chiedozie Ogbene are out due to more serious injuries.
On a positive note, Kalvin Phillips is back after his suspension, and midfielder Jack Taylor may return if he passes training.
Predicted Ipswich Town XI (Formation, right to left): Muric (GK) — Tuanzebe, O’Shea, Greaves, Davis — Morsy, Cajuste — Johnson, Hutchinson, Szmodics — Delap
Injured: Broadhead, Donacien, Ogbene, Greaves (doubt), Burns (doubt)
Suspended: None
It will be intriguing to see Amorim’s approach for his premier league debut.
While he has been successful with a three-man defense at Sporting CP, he might opt for a four-defender setup to help his players adjust.
Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia are back in training, but their participation this weekend appears unlikely. New signing Leny Yoro is also working his way back from injury.
Lisandro Martinez could miss out due to a back issue that sidelined him from Argentina’s matches, and Victor Lindelof has also picked up an injury on international duty, though Harry Maguire is hoping to feature.
Midfielder Kobbie Mainoo might be back after a thigh injury kept him out of the last four league matches, while Mason Mount could see his name on the matchday squad for only the sixth time this season.
Predicted Man United XI (4-3-3, right to left): Onana (GK) — Dalot, Maguire, Evans, Mazraoui — Casemiro, Ugarte, Fernandes — Rashford, Hojlund, Garnacho
Injured: Lindelof, Malacia, Martinez, Shaw, Yoro, Mainoo (doubt)
Suspended: None
