Follow live coverage as Manchester United face Ipswich Town today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Manchester United FC 2 - 1 Ipswich Town FC
Manchester United vs Ipswich Town
20:04United's tails are now up, as is the mood at Old Trafford unsurprisingly. They're getting some joy down the left against former player Tuanzebe, who is struggling against Dorgu and Garnacho.
Manchester United vs Ipswich Town
20:00Like London buses, United have two first half goals after waiting so long for one. Can they now kick on and seal a much-needed victory?

19:58Goal Matthijs de Ligt

19:57That's just United's second goal in the first half of a Premier League game since the 3-2 home loss to Nottingham Forest on December 8.

19:54Own goal Samy Sayed Mekway Said Morsy
Manchester United vs Ipswich Town
19:52Ipswich are quite comfortable here with United's response after conceding lacking in any substance despite enjoying over 65% of the ball. Hojlund has barely had a touch.
Manchester United vs Ipswich Town
19:49Nice play from Zirkzee in the middle sees the ball passed out to Garnacho, who then finds Dorgu down the left. His cross, again, is easily cleared with not enough teammates in the box as well.
Manchester United vs Ipswich Town
19:48Yoro pushes up on Hutchinson but gives away an obvious foul by pushing into the back of the winger. United need to get their heads together here.
Manchester United vs Ipswich Town
19:47From United's latest corner, Fernandes finds Garnacho almost on the touchline but his low drive is cleared away by Ipswich.
Manchester United vs Ipswich Town
19:44Dalot is the latest to needlessly give away the ball to the groans of the fans. Delap charges on with the ball only to be stopped by Maguire on the edge of the box.
Manchester United vs Ipswich Town
19:43United keep giving the ball away in dangerous positions, which is only adding to the nervousness inside the ground. All the noise is coming from the away end.
Manchester United vs Ipswich Town
19:41United come close! Fernandes floats a corner in Maguire's direction and his header forces Palmer into a save. They could really do with a quick leveller.
Manchester United vs Ipswich Town
19:39United are all at sea here, with Ipswich fancying a second. Ugarte just about stops their latest attack after they made their way through midfield with far too much ease.

19:36Goal Jaden Richard Philogene-Bidace
Manchester United vs Ipswich Town
19:34Delap commits a foul, allowing United to gather their bearings and look to build from the back at a rain-sodden Old Trafford.
Manchester United vs Ipswich Town
19:33Ipswich have the first opening with Delap putting a shot across Onana and wide after easily cutting through United's defence.

19:32And we're underway with the visitors kicking us off.
Manchester United vs Ipswich Town
19:29We're five minutes away from kick off at Old Trafford in what could be a very interesting game.
Manchester United vs Ipswich Town
19:19After losing 4-1 at home to Spurs at the weekend, McKenna replaces Ben Godfrey and Kalvin Phillips with Tuanzebe and captain Morsey. The two changes make it 80 across 27 league games this season, the most of any team.
Manchester United vs Ipswich Town
19:19Both sides make changes, and for the first time this season. Amorim has now named a different team in all 23 of his games in charge, a sign of both injuries and uncertainty around who best suits his 3-4-3 system. Yoro comes in for Mazraoui in United's only change from the side that salvaged a 2-2 draw at Everton on Saturday. The Moroccan defender had a slight knee issue but is named on the bench.

19:03Manchester United (3-4-3): Andre Onana; Leny Yoro, Harry Maguire, Matthijs de Ligt; Patrick Dorgu, Manuel Ugarte, Bruno Fernandes, Diogo Dalot; Joshua Zirkzee, Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Hojlund
Manchester United vs Ipswich Town
19:03The Tractor Boys need for a result is clear, with Kieran McKenna's men sitting in 18th place, five points away from safety with just 12 games to go. Since beating Chelsea on December 30, they have failed to win any of their last seven league games, losing five and conceding 21 goals in the process. Solace has been found in the FA Cup, but the former United assistant will know things must improve very quickly in the league if an immediate return to the Championship is to be avoided.
Manchester United vs Ipswich Town
19:03The two sides meet with both in desperate need of a result. United's struggles are well publicised at this point, with Ruben Amorim's arrival not changing the side's fortunes. They have won just seven of his 22 games in charge, none of their last three in the league and just two of seven league games at Old Trafford under the Portuguese head coach. His reign started against tonight's opponenets back in November, when the now-departed Marcus Rashford opened the scoring inside two minutes. However, they were held to a draw. A repeat tonight, or worse, would only increase the doom and gloom around the club.
