Manchester United vs Ipswich Preview
Recent results
As previously mentioned, United suffered defeat at Hull in their season opener. Goals from Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy secured a famous 2-0 win for the Tigers, and heaped a bit of pressure on Carrick. But the Red Devils won their previous three top-flight matches at Old Trafford vs Nottingham Forest (3-2), Liverpool (3-2) and Brentford (2-1).
After reeling off four straight wins to conclude pre-season, Ipswich continued in a triumphant manner by beating Sunderland 2-1 in their first match of the campaign. Strikes from Emersonn and Jack Clarke secured the victory, with the Tractor Boys also collecting a 3-1 win over Leicester on Tuesday night in the EFL Cup second round, a match which featured a brilliant brace from Marcelino Nunez.
Head-to-head record
The 2024-25 season marked the first Premier League meetings between these teams in 22 years.
A 1-1 draw at Portman Road was followed by a 3-2 United win at Old Trafford.
Team news
Amad Diallo, Matthijs de Ligt and Manuel Ugarte are set to be the notable absentees for United, while Mason Mount is rated as doubtful. It remains to be seen whether new signing Carlos Baleba will play any part, with Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos set to line up in midfield once again.
Azor Matusiwa and Jack Taylor are likely to be the only players who miss out for Ipswich, a welcome boost for manager O’Neil.

Manchester United vs Ipswich Betting Tips
Both teams to score – Yes @ 1.77
This BTTS pick has been a real source of profit in United’s home games during 2026 thus far. The bet landed in each of the last six top-flight matches hosted at Old Trafford, and Ipswich’s display of attacking strength vs Sunderland suggests Sunday’s contest may follow suit.
Player to score or assist – Bruno Fernandes @ 1.71
Fernandes flattered to deceive against Hull, but there are still few players in the world more reliable in terms of delivering goal contributions. The Portuguese star either scored or assisted (or both!) in nine of his 10 previous Premier League outings at Old Trafford, a quite ridiculous record.
Player to score or assist – Julio Enciso @ 3.30
While the Fernandes selection is a far safer bet, Enciso as an outside pick looks very tempting indeed. The Paraguayan attacker was a standout performer in the victory over Sunderland, contributing a brilliant assist for Emersonn’s opener. Enciso’s dribbling, long-range shooting and prolificacy on the counter should really trouble an unsettled United defence.
