MANCHESTER - 22 NOV— Ruben Amorim will make his debut as Manchester United manager on Sunday against Ipswich, who are riding high after a surprise win over Tottenham. Despite sitting 13th in the table,United are only four points off the top four, giving Amorim a chance to turn the season around. Captain Bruno Fernandes praised Amorim's strong connection with players, hoping it translates into quick results.

Meanwhile, Manchester City, reeling from four straight losses, aim to recover against Tottenham after Pep Guardiola signed a two-year contract extension. City trail leaders Liverpool by five points and must regain form quickly, with a tough trip to Anfield looming. Arsenal, struggling for consistency, host Nottingham Forest as they seek to reignite their title challenge after slipping nine points behind Liverpool.

After Ruben Amorim was officially announced as Erik ten Hag's replacement, Manchester United supporters had to wait three weeks for him to arrive.
