Manchester United v Ipswich Premier League prediction
Manchester United
2 – 1
Ipswich
Manchester United were well below their best against Hull and will need to improve considerably if they are to avoid another surprise result.
Ipswich have already shown that they can compete after their impressive win over Sunderland, but United should have enough quality to respond in front of their home supporters.
