Manchester United welcome Ipswich Town to Old Trafford on Wednesday night in a Premier League clash that could shape both teams’ momentum heading into March, and the lineup for each side has been confirmed.
The Reds will be eager to build on their comeback against Everton, while Ipswich are fighting to stay afloat in the top flight.
Kickoff Time and Where to Watch
The match kicks off at 19:30 GMT on Wednesday, February 26. Fans in the UK can watch live on TNT Sports, while Manchester United’s MUTV will provide pre-match analysis and post-match highlights.
Team News
United manager Ruben Amorim has a few injury concerns. Manuel Ugarte and Leny Yoro returned last weekend, while Christian Eriksen is available after illness. However, Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, and Tom Heaton remain sidelined, and Lisandro Martinez is out long-term.
For Ipswich, former United player Axel Tuanzebe is back from suspension. Midfield duo Jens Cajuste and Kalvin Phillips face late fitness tests after picking up injuries. Long-term absentees include Conor Chaplin, Wes Burns, and Christian Walton.
Current Form
United’s recent form has been inconsistent, with just one home league win in 2025. However, they remain unbeaten in their last seven home matches against Ipswich, scoring 15 goals without reply in the last three encounters.
Ipswich, on the other hand, are struggling, with just one point from their last six matches. Heavy losses to Manchester City, Liverpool, and Tottenham have exposed defensive frailties.
