Manchester United vs Ipswich live updates: Premier League match team news, predictions and more

Michael Carrick was probably wondering what the fuss was all about during his successful interim reign as Manchester United coach in the second half of last season.

Then Hull rocked up and punched his side in the nose, and there was little response.

They need to be much improved for their home opener, and it feels like striker Benjamin Sesko, who was on the bench last weekend, will be key as a focal point in attack.

Hull’s victory overshadowed Ipswich making a winning return to the Premier League themselves. Their performance may not have been as eye-catching, but it was effective.

The expectation, though, is United will dust themselves off and not drop more points against a promoted side. They will need to show a lot more open-play creativity, though.

Score prediction: Manchester United 2-0 Ipswich
