Man Utd without EIGHT stars for Ipswich Town clash as Ruben Amorim faces crisis

Manchester United are set to be without eight players for their home clash against Ipswich on Wednesday night as Ruben Amorim continues to deal with a growing injury crisis at Old Trafford.

United are desperate to get back to winning ways against the Tractor Boys after going three games without a victory in the Premier League, but they'll have to do so with a stretched squad.

The team drew 2-2 against Everton without a host of key names and Amorim confirmed at his pre-match press conference that he will not get anyone back from injury for the game against Ipswich.

That means the Portuguese boss will be without Luke Shaw, Kobbie Mainoo, Mason Mount, Jonny Evans and Toby Collyer - who are not yet fit to return. Lisandro Martinez and Amad Diallo, meanwhile, are out for the season.

There are also concerns over Noussair Mazraoui, who suffered a knock to his knee against Everton and Amorim could be forced to continue filling his bench with academy prospects.

In the last two games against the Toffees and Tottenham, Amorim played the likes of Ayden Heaven, Harry Amass, Sekou Kone, Chido Obi-Martin and Elyh Harrison on his bench.

Speaking ahead of the game, he told the media: "Amad is out for a long time. I think Mason [Mount] continues to make his recovery, Luke [Shaw] continues to make his recovery. I don’t have a day.

"Toby [Collyer] seems to be the closest one but not now. Kobbie is recovering. We have to adapt to use the players that we have for the schedule."

Amorim will have some optimism for the Ipswich game after watching his players rally to secure a draw through Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte.

When asked what he told his players to rescue the point, he said: "I just said we are going to play the same way, because during the week I saw a different thing. We are going to do the same thing, no matter what the result [is]. It’s more belief and then the quality in the small things. Like control the ball because men were free.

‘Everybody knew because we watch the games of Everton, we worked during the week and we proved that in the second half. I didn’t change nothing, it was playing the same way with better energy and fight for the second balls.’
