Manchester United have no such concerns from the available team news, with Bruno Fernandes and Matheus Cunha the central attacking threats and Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw the senior figures in defense.

Manchester United vs Ipswich Town Prediction

Manchester United’s status as heavy favorites at Old Trafford should tell in the end, even with the team sitting on 0 points from their opener. Ipswich Town, buoyed by 3 points and a +1 goal difference from their opening win, are unlikely to leave with nothing given the goal threat Correia da Silva and Clarke have already shown. Expect goals at both ends before Manchester United pull clear: 2-1 to the hosts.
