Man Utdvs.Ipswich

sportsmole.co.uk, 23 February 2025, 10:12
Manchester United will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they host Ipswich Town on Wednesday night.

The Red Devils have only taken one point from their last three league matches, with that draw occurring on Saturday, when they came from two goals behind to draw 2-2 with Everton at Goodison Park.

The 20-time English champions are currently 15th in the Premier League table, with a disastrous season seeing them pick up only 30 points from their first 26 matches of the campaign.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United's injury and suspension news ahead of their contest with Ipswich, who are 18th in the table, five points behind 17th-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Lisandro Martinez

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: Unknown

Martinez suffered a severe knee injury during Man United's Premier League match against Crystal Palace on February 2, and the Argentina international, who has undergone an operation, is now expected to be on the sidelines for the remainder of 2025.

Luke Shaw

Status: Out

Type of injury: Hamstring

Possible return date: Unknown

Shaw has only made three appearances this season due to ongoing injury problems, and the England international recently had a setback in his recovery from his latest issue; a return date for the 29-year-old is therefore still unclear.

Mason Mount

Status: Out

Type of injury: Unspecified

Possible return date: Unknown

Mount was again absent against Spurs due to the problem which forced him off the field against Manchester City in the Manchester derby in December, and the Englishman is still not close to making his return.

Jonny Evans

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Muscle

Possible return date: February 26 (vs. Ipswich)

Experienced centre-back Evans is not currently available for selection due to a muscular problem, and he is again expected to miss out against Ipswich at Old Trafford.

Altay Bayindir

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Unspecified

Possible return date: February 26 (vs. Ipswich)

Bayindir has missed Man United's last three matches due to an unspecified issue, and the Turkey international will need to be assessed before a decision is made on his fitness for this contest.

Tom Heaton

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Unspecified

Possible return date: February 26 (vs. Ipswich)

Heaton has missed Man United's last three matches due to an unspecified issue, and the club's number three goalkeeper remains a major doubt for the contest with Ipswich.

Kobbie Mainoo

Status: Out

Type of injury: Calf

Possible return date: April 1 (vs. Nottingham Forest)

Mainoo picked up a calf injury in training last week, and the England international is now expected to be missing until the start of April in what is a major blow for the Red Devils at an important stage of the campaign.

Amad Diallo

Status: Out

Type of injury: Ankle

Possible return date: Unknown

Amad suffered an ankle injury during a training session last week, and the Ivory Coast international is set to miss the remainder of the season, with the attacker now working to return to training in July.

Toby Collyer

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Knock

Possible return date: February 26 (vs. Ipswich)

Collyer was missing against Spurs and Everton due to a knock that he sustained in training, but Amorim said during his press conference last week that the midfielder has a chance of being back against Ipswich.

MANCHESTER UNITED'S SUSPENSION LIST

Man United have no players suspended for this Premier League clash.
