STAR FOOTBALL PREVIEW Sun: Man Utd v Ipswich

Manchester United will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing opening-day defeat when they welcome newly promoted Ipswich Town to Old Trafford on Sunday, writes JOE CITRONE.

United endured a miserable start to the new Premier League campaign as they were beaten 2-0 by fellow newcomers Hull City.

Michael Carrick’s side will therefore be under some early pressure to get their first points on the board, while Ipswich arrive in Manchester with plenty of confidence after beginning their return to the top flight with a 2-1 victory over Sunderland.

⭐️ STARSPORTS.BET MATCH MARKETS ⭐️

The visitors should certainly not be underestimated, but Old Trafford is a very different test and United have dominated this fixture historically. The Red Devils are unbeaten in the last eight meetings with Ipswich and have won the last four encounters at Old Trafford.

The last meeting at this ground was particularly entertaining, with United edging a five-goal thriller 3-2 despite playing with ten men for much of the game.

I’m expecting a response from Carrick’s side and think there could be goals here, which is why I’m happy to take Manchester United and over 3.5 goals at 17/10 with starsports.bet.
