Ruben Amorim will lead his first match as the manager of Manchester United today, as they face Ipswich Town in the Premier League.

Following Amorim's selection as the head coach of Manchester United at the start of November, the Portuguese manager is set to lead the team for the very first time later today, facing Ipswich Town, who are fighting to avoid relegation. United has been inactive for two weeks due to the last international break of 2024, but this pause allowed Amorim some time to prepare and train his team in anticipation of today’s match.

As they approached the weekend, United found themselves in 13th place in the Premier League standings, yet only four points separated them from the team in third, highlighting the tight competition at the top. Before the impending international break, Ipswich secured their first win of the season against Spurs, which should give them a lift going into their match against United.

Score Prediction: Ipswich Town Vs. Man United

For this simulation, we utilized EA FC 25 and refreshed the teams to reflect the most recent injuries and suspensions.

We believe the home team is likely to set up in a 3-4-3 formation, featuring the following players: Muric; Tuanzebe, O'Shea, Burgess; Johnson, Morsy, Cajuste, Davis; Hutchinson, Delap, and Szmodics.

We anticipate that United may adopt a 3-4-2-1 formation, featuring the following players: Onana; De Ligt, Evans, Martinez; Mazraoui, Mainoo, Ugarte, Dalot; Amad, Fernandes; Rashford.

In a fresh arrangement led by Amorim, United took charge in the initial phase of the match, with the away team managing the ball effectively as they aimed to penetrate Ipswich’s solid defense. Twenty-eight minutes into the game, Marcus Rashford was fouled in the penalty area, resulting in a penalty kick being granted. Bruno Fernandes took the responsibility and confidently shot straight down the middle, putting United ahead 1-0.

Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui played key roles in the offensive play at Portman Road. Mazraoui came close to scoring a second goal with a powerful shot from distance that hit the post. After halftime, Ipswich had a period of dominance and began to build their confidence. However, a quick counterattack from United led to Amorim's team increasing their advantage.

Matthijs de Ligt executed an impressive 60-yard pass across the field to find Dalot making a run on the left. After a quick one-two with Rashford, Dalot sped past his defender and approached the byline. He then sent the ball back into the box, where Fernandes was waiting. With a skillful first-time shot, he caught the goalkeeper off guard, putting United two goals in the lead.

With a solid command of the game, United successfully secured the three points in Amorim's debut match as their manager.
