Manchester United vs Ipswich Town: Match preview, what to expect and key players | OneFootball

Manchester United host Ipswich Town at Old Trafford tonight, aiming to end their winless run in February.

United have failed to secure a victory in three league games and desperately need a positive result against the Tractor Boys.

Ipswich have also endured a tough spell, losing two of their three league games this month. They are still stuck in the relegation zone.

Match Preview

Ipswich have a miserable record at Old Trafford in recent years, conceding 15 goals in their last three visits.

However, they held United to a draw in the reverse fixture which could boost their confidence for this game.

United have no new injury concerns, although there are doubts over Noussair Mazraoui’s availability after he was forced off with a knee problem against Everton.

Ipswich will have former United defender Axel Tuanzebe back for this clash after he served a one-match suspension.

Midfielders Kalvin Phillips and Jens Cajuste are doubtful, while Julio Enciso, Wes Burns and Chiedozie Ogbene remain sidelined.

What to Expect

Both sides have struggled defensively, making a goalless draw unlikely. Only one of their last 11 meetings has ended without a goal.

United are expected to control possession, with Ipswich struggling to dominate games this season.

The visitors will bring a physical edge to the contest. They rank sixth for fouls per game, fourth for yellow cards and joint-second for red cards in the league this term.

Key Players

Manchester United

Bruno Fernandes: The 30-year-old has been United’s most productive attacking player and remains their primary creative force.

Alejandro Garnacho: The Argentine winger is currently United’s most dangerous attacking outlet and could pose a major threat to Ipswich’s defence.

Ipswich Town

Liam Delap: The young English striker leads Ipswich’s scoring charts and will be crucial if they are to pull off an upset at Old Trafford.

Leif Davis: The left-back has created the most big chances for Ipswich this season and also contributed a goal and three assists.
