Manchester United face Ipswich in their first home game of the Premier League season this afternoon as they look to bounce back from an opening weekend defeat. The Red Devils were toothless in the 2-0 loss away at Hull eight days ago as they were undone by set-pieces, but will be expected to bounce back against a newly-promoted side at Old Trafford.
Team news and new signings
Michael Carrick has added to his squad since with the signing of Carlos Baleba from Brighton, though a pre-existing injury means the midfielder's debut has been delayed. Marcus Rashford, meanwhile, could make his first start for Man Utd since December 2024 and Mason Mount is in contention to feature for the first time this season after recovering from a knock.
Ipswich arrive in Manchester on the back of a dramatic last-gasp opening day win over Sunderland and are set to hand a debut to new signing Exequiel Palacios after his move from Bayer Leverkusen was confirmed on Thursday.
