Premier League football will return to Old Trafford on Sunday evening when Manchester United will be taking on top-flight newcomers Ipswich Town. The Red Devils are unbeaten in their last eight matches against the Tractor Boys, and we are going for the home side to extend that record with another victory here as our main prediction.
It’s a second successive EPL weekend against a newly-promoted side for Michael Carrick, but he will be hoping for a better result here after a dismal display against Hull City last time out. History favours the hosts too, as they have not tasted defeat by this opponent in over three decades, and they have only lost their first two games of a Prem season twice in the past.
Gary O’Neil’s men will arrive at Old Trafford this weekend brimming with confidence after edging Sunderland to victory in their first match back in the top flight. The Tractor Boys made significant investment over the summer, bolstering their squad in an attempt to survive the drop - can they follow up on their MD1 triumph with another big performance this weekend? Let’s get into the key stats!

Manchester United - Ipswich Town: Form Analysis
When Carrick returned to Man United at the start of 2026, the club were seventh in the table. He then sparked a remarkable turnaround, winning 12 of their final 17 EPL matches to finish in third place.
However, the Red Devils kicked off this season very poorly, losing 2-0 to Hull City on the road, with both goals coming from set-pieces, which have raised questions about the team’s defensive solidity.
Nevertheless, the hosts will be confident in their chances of bouncing back here. They won eight of their final nine league games on their home patch last season and scored two or more goals in each of those victories.
Man United are unbeaten in their last nine home games against Ipswich in all competitions!
Meanwhile, Ipswich Town look like they mean business this season, having followed up their victory over Sunderland with a 3-1 triumph against Leicester in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night.
The Tractor Boys also ended last term unbeaten in their final five league games (W2 D3), meaning they enter this weekend riding a seven-match unbeaten run in competitive matches since mid-April.
The visitors have lost just one of their last eight competitive away games (W4 D3), but they have shipped a staggering 21 goals in their last five matches across all competitions here at Old Trafford.

Manchester United & Ipswich Town Squad Analysis
Carrick opted to start Patrick Dorgu on the left flank against Hull, but there is widespread expectation that Marcus Rashford will get the nod this week. Rashford created four chances after coming on in the second half - the second most of any player in the EPL on MD1.
Keep an eye on Bryan Mbeumo this weekend. The Cameroonian led the team last week in total shots (4), shots on target (2) and touches in the opposition box (7). He is also likely to get the full 90 here, with Amad Diallo set to miss the match through injury.
United completed the signing of Carlos Baleba last week, but the former Brighton midfielder is still nursing an ankle injury. Tom Heaton, Mason Mount, Matthijs De Ligt, and Manuel Ugarte are also ruled out.
Emersonn notched up a goal on debut for Ipswich Town last week!
The former Toulouse forward opened his account after just 24 minutes at Portman Road. Jack Clarke then netted the winner off the bench and got an assist in the team’s victory over Leicester in midweek.
Marcelino Nunez is another who has received praise for his performances over the last two games. The Chilean bagged a brace against the Foxes, including a stunning effort from almost the halfway line.
The visitors have just two confirmed injury absentees for this weekend’s trip to Old Trafford in Azor Matusiswa and summer signing from Burnley, Florentino Luis.

Our Manchester United vs Ipswich Town Prediction
Ipswich Town have made a very promising start to this season, beating Sunderland and Leicester, but this has not been a happy hunting ground for them, as they have not won a match at Old Trafford since the early 1980s.
Man United were extremely disapointing in their season opener against Hull, but that would have been a massive wake-up call for them, and we fancy them to bounce back by notching up their first win of the campaign this weekend. Our Manchester United vs Ipswich Town prediction is Manchester United wins.
