Latest MU vs Ipswich Town team information
After being forced to call up eight young players on the bench in the match against Spurs due to a shortage of personnel, Manchester United manager Amorim received good news when a series of pillars such as Ugarte, Leny Yoro and Christian Eriksen were all ready to return.
Toby Collyer is also getting closer to his return, but other important players such as Mason Mount, Kobbie Mainoo and Luke Shaw are still unable to join the squad.
Long-term absences for key players Amad Diallo and Lisandro Martinez will last until the end of the season, but Diallo's injury could open the door for young talent Chido Obi, who impressed off the bench against Everton.
As for Ipswich Town, their already lengthy injury list has been extended following last weekend's game, with Kalvin Phillips and Jens Cajuste both forced off with calf and ankle injuries.
Wes Burns is certain to miss the rest of the season with a serious knee injury, but Conor Chaplin is showing positive signs of recovery and could be fit to feature after a minor injury to the same area. Meanwhile, Sam Morsy and Sammie Szmodics have recovered from injuries sustained over the weekend and will be on the bench.
Veteran defender Axel Tuanzebe, who played for Manchester United, is back from suspension and is ready to replace Ben Godfrey, who had a forgettable game against Spurs and was substituted in the first half.

Latest football commentary MU vs Ipswich Town
Manchester United fought back from 2-0 down to earn a lucky point in Saturday's trip to Goodison Park, with Ruben Amorim's side having little reason to complain after falling two goals behind.
It could have been even worse had Bruno Fernandes not converted the penalty. Manuel Ugarte equalised shortly afterwards, before the Red Devils escaped a controversial penalty when Ashley Young pulled his shirt. Referee Andy Madley later reversed his initial decision after consulting VAR, although not all angles were properly examined. Still, the point leaves United behind Everton in the table, and West Ham United's win over Arsenal has made the race for the top four even more difficult. The gap to the European places has widened to 12 points, meaning next season could be a rare occasion when United do not play in any European competition, unless they win the FA Cup or Europa League.
The team's biggest problems come in attack, where Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have yet to score in the Premier League in 2025. Manchester United need just one more goalless game to set a new club record of 11 separate Premier League games without a goal this season. The Old Trafford side have also scored just one first-half goal in their last 11 Premier League games, a 3-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion. That match was also one of five home defeats in seven Premier League games since Amorim was appointed manager. The hosts are now just two games away from equalling their most defeats in a single league season in more than six decades, but they are unbeaten in their last eight home meetings with Ipswich, although the last time the sides met was in 2015. That was in the third round of the League Cup. Their last league meeting came in 2001, just a few years after Manchester United set a Premier League record with a 9-0 thrashing of Ipswich in 1995. It is a record that has since been equalled, but not broken.
The last time Ipswich triumphed at Old Trafford was in 1984, when they came from behind to win 2-1. Interestingly, that remains the last time Manchester United lost a home game after leading at half-time; they have not lost in 388 since. Kieran McKenna's side need to repeat that victory if they are to restore their survival hopes, with relegation fears heightened by a 4-1 home defeat to Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend. Wolves' win over Bournemouth widened the gap between the bottom three and safety to five points. It looks as though the three newly promoted sides are all on their way back to the Championship after just one season. Ipswich are now the only team in the division without a win in their last six games. Their only point came in a surprise draw against Aston Villa just over a week ago, despite playing with just 10 men for more than half the game.
However, Ipswich have picked up more points away from home (10) than at Portman Road (7) this season, which should give the visitors more confidence away from home. In fact, only Southampton have picked up fewer points at home than Ipswich in the top four divisions of England. Meanwhile, only Southampton, Morecambe and Shrewsbury Town have lost more home games than Ipswich. However, McKenna's side did manage a 2-2 draw at home to United in the first leg - Amorim's first game in charge.
