This Sunday marks the beginning of a new chapter for Manchester United as Ruben Amorim leads the team in his inaugural Premier League game against Ipswich Town.
Following the departure of Erik ten Hag after a loss to West Ham on October 27, Amorim took over as head coach on November 11 but had to wait for the international break to end before managing his first match.
His first challenge is a match against Ipswich, who recently pulled off an exciting 2-1 victory against Tottenham. The team is managed by Kieran McKenna, a former assistant coach at Manchester United, making this a competitive introduction for Amorim and his new coaching team.

Ipswich Town vs. Manchester United: Team News and Lineups
Kieran McKenna has marked this match on his calendar since Ipswich’s promotion last season, but injury concerns complicate the matchup.
Nathan Broadhead, Wesley Burns, and Jacob Greaves are possibly sidelined for this match, while Janoi Donacien and Chiedozie Ogbene are confirmed long-term absentees.
On the brighter side, Kalvin Phillips returns after serving a suspension, and midfielder Jack Taylor might be back if training goes well. Key player Omari Hutchinson is anticipated to be fit after recovering from a foot injury.
Ipswich Town projected XI (4-2-3-1, left to right): Muric (GK) — Tuanzebe, O’Shea, Greaves, Davis — Morsy, Cajuste — Johnson, Hutchinson, Szmodics — Delap
Ipswich Town substitutes: Matchday squads revealed one hour before kickoff.
Injuries: Broadhead, Donacien, Ogbene, Hirst, Greaves (doubt), Burns (doubt)
Suspensions: None
It will be intriguing to see how Amorim sets up his team for this first Premier League outing. He had success with a back three at Sporting CP but may opt for a four-man defense to aid player adjustment before possibly utilizing full-backs as wing-backs.
Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia are back in training but are unlikely to participate this weekend. Similarly, summer signee Leny Yoro is recovering from a broken foot.
Lisandro Martinez struggles with a back injury that affected his national duty, while Victor Lindelof is also a doubt due to an injury. However, Harry Maguire is aiming for a return.
Kobbie Mainoo could return after missing the last four league matches, and Mason Mount is being readied for potentially his sixth league matchday inclusion this season.
Manchester United projected XI (4-3-3, left to right): Onana (GK) — Dalot, De Ligt, Evans, Mazraoui — Casemiro, Ugarte, Fernandes — Rashford, Hojlund, Garnacho
