A new era begins for the Red Devils under Ruben Amorim
After their impressive win over Tottenham Hotspur, Ipswich Town are set to take on Manchester United in Round 12 of the Premier League on Sunday at Portman Road looking to play the role of party spoiler as Red Devils begin to embark on a new era under Ruben Amorim.
After a tough start to the season, Ipswich Town are finally up and running after securing their first win of the season that too against top-six side Tottenham Hotspur. The previous two games have been positive for the Tractor Boys as they picked four points to move away from the relegation zone to 17th position in the standings. Kieran McKenna now gears up to face his former side which will give extra motivation for them to pull off another massive win.
Manchester United on the other hand had a turbulent start to the season, But now are set to embark on a new chapter with Ruben Amorim who is dubbed the next special one taking the reins from Erik ten Hag. The Portuguese Manager is set to bring his favoured 3-4-3 formation to the team that has worked wonders for him in the past. With the Red Devils languishing in the 13th spot, they will have to start delivering the results to climb up the table.

Players to Watch
Liam Delap (Ipswich Town)
Liam Delap has seemingly adjusted to Premier League demands in his very first season in the top flight scoring six goals for Ipswich Town in the starting eleven games. He has looked lively so far and seems ready to take centre stage again after delivering a match-winning performance against Tottenham in the previous game where he scored one and set up another to give the Tractor Boys their first win of the season.
Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)
Bruno Fernandes has been a different player ever since Erik ten Hag got fired. In his previous four games with Manchester United, Fernandes has scored four goals and also added another two assists to take his tally to 11 G/A contributions this season. With him brimming with confidence now, Ruben Amorim has a real asset in the form of Fernandes as they aim to kick-start a new era in Old Trafford.

Injury & Team News
Ipswich Town will miss the services of Chiedozie Ogbene after he suffered an Achilles tendon injury. Also, the trio of Jacob Greaves, Nathan Broadhead, and Wes Burns are possible doubts for this game. However, the good news is Kalvin Phillips is back with the squad after serving a one-match suspension.
Manchester United on the other hand will be without the defensive pair of Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof for this clash. Ruben Amorim will be delighted to have the likes of Kobbie Mainoo, Leny Yoro, Mason Mount, Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia back in the squad after making a good recovery during the international break. However, it remains to be seen whether he takes the risk here or gives them a few minutes to take a small step towards their full fitness.
