Ipswich vs Manchester United – LIVE!
Ruben Amorim begins life as a Premier League manager when he takes his Man Utd side to Portman Road later today. The former Sporting coach arrives in English football with a big reputation and it will be fascinating to see how one of Europe’s highest rated young managers deals with such a big move.
While the Red Devils will be favourites for the game, the Tractor Boys are finally up and running this season. Having beaten Tottenham before the international break, the hosts will be full of confidence and looking to spoil the party, hoping to catch Amorim cold.
Amorim of course cannot really be judged after so little time in the job thus far but a big win would be some statement of intent. A defeat, however, would only underline the size of the task at hand. Follow all the action LIVE with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog!

The Red Devils duo both headed to the United States for holidays during their respective days off last week, with Rashford seen attending an NBA game in New York and Casemiro posting pictures on social media with his family at Disney World in Florida.

It is of course difficult to know where United are at such an early stage of the Amorim era, especially as he’s not even had a full squad to train with.
With Ipswich starting to find a foothold in the Premier League, a draw would not be a disaster for either side.
Draw, 1-1.
