Ruben Amorim will make his debut as Manchester United's head coach on Sunday at Portman Road, facing Ipswich Town in his first match in charge. At 39, Amorim is the club's youngest manager since 1969 and arrives with impressive experience, including leading Sporting Lisbon to titles and a memorable 4-1 victory over Manchester City in the Champions League.

Amorim’s predecessor, Ruud van Nistelrooy, oversaw a few wins but left United in 13th place, with the team struggling away from home. Amorim now aims to achieve what none of his predecessors did—win their opening match.

Ipswich's Kieran McKenna, a former United assistant, could offer valuable insights into the club's managerial challenges. McKenna has guided Ipswich out of the relegation zone after a surprising 1-0 win over Tottenham, although Ipswich still lack a home win this season. United have won their last four meetings with Ipswich, including a 3-0 EFL Cup victory in 2015.
