The Red Devils are on a three-match winless streak in the Premier League.
Manchester United are set to take on Ipswich Town in Matchday 27 of the Premier League 2024-25 season. The Red Devils are 15th in the points table after having won only eight of their 26 league games. The Tractor Boys are in the relegation zone as they have only been able to win three matches in the same number of games.
Manchester United will be at home and they are coming in after making a good comeback in their last Premier League fixture against Everton. Although they could not get a positive result, the Red Devils still managed to secure a point. Man United still have to work on their attacking front as they still are struggling to convert their attacks into goals. They have been slightly better on defence than before, but there is still a lot of work to be done.
Ipswich Town will be low on confidence as they are coming in after suffering a heavy defeat over Tottenham Hotspur in their last league game. The Tractor Boys will also be away from their home which will be another disadvantage for them. Ruben Amorim’s men will not let them breathe easily on the field.

Players to Watch
Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)
From controlling to midfield to scoring goals, the Portugal national football team midfielder is going to play a crucial role once again for the Red Devils. This time it will be against Ipswich Town. Bruno Fernandes scored a stunning freekick in the previous league fixture which helped Man United hold Everton for a draw.
Liam Delap (Ipswich Town)
The 22-year-old forward is the top scorer for the Tractor Boys in the Premier League’s current season. Liam Delap has scored 10 goals and has come up with a couple of assists in his 25 matches played for Ipswich Town in the league this season. The English forward will have to step up and score a goal or two against Manchester United’s vulnerable defence.
