Man Utd vs Ipswich preview
Manchester United welcome a beleaguered Ipswich Town to Old Trafford with both sides in desperate need of a morale-boosting victory.
The Red Devils used their “get out of jail free” card against Everton over the weekend, netting twice in eight second-half minutes before seeing their opponents’ penalty controversially overturned by VAR in the dying minutes.
The result helped Ruben Amorim avoid successive defeats for the third time in his tenure, and moved the club 13 points clear of the relegation zone with 12 matches remaining.
But it was far from a vintage display with United looking forlorn for 72 minutes, with the performance of Patrick Dorgu the only bright spot.
Amorim will hope to use their late comeback as a platform for Wednesday’s clash against an Ipswich side who’ve kept just one clean sheet in their last 24 Premier League away games.
United are also unbeaten in their last seven home league games against Ipswich, winning each of the last three by an aggregate score of 15-0.
Manchester United have lost seven Premier League home games this season, with five of those coming in Ruben Amorim’s seven in charge.
But an eight looks fairly unlikely against Kieran McKenna’s side, who are now five points adrift following a run of five defeats in their last six league games (L5, D1).
And you would have to go back to May 1984 for the last time the Tractor Boys won at Old Trafford, which was also the last occasion Man Utd lost a home league game in which they led at half-time.
Ipswich’s 4-1 defeat against Tottenham last time out was the seventh different league game in which they’ve conceded 4+ goals this season and a huge turnaround will be required to leave Manchester with anything.

Man Utd vs Ipswich preview betting tips and predictions
Alejandro
Manchester United deserve credit for the second-half improvement against Everton, and that will likely see Alejandro Garnacho return to the starting XI.
He and Patrick Dorgu combined nicely down the left channel and they should again against a side with the third-worst defensive record in the division.
Nobody in the Manchester United squad has fired off more efforts at goal (8) or shots on target (3) than Garnacho over the last four league matches, while the Argentine is averaging an attempt every 36.5 minutes – the highest in the squad.

Slow start
It looks likely to be a slow start for Manchester United, which supporters have grown accustomed to this season.
The Red Devils haven’t been ahead at half-time in any of their last 19 matches in all competitions, since leading 2-0 against Everton in December.
Indeed, in the Premier League this term only Leicester City (7) have scored fewer first half goals than the Red Devils (9). The chances of a first-half goal look even more unlikely given Ipswich have trailed just five times away from home at half time.
