Amorim on the feeling around the club and the need to change the results - Amorim

Manchester United face Ipswich Town in the Premier League tonight, with the home side simply playing for pride as they to put some distance between themselves and the relegation places.

Ruben Amorim’s side sit in 15th after their dramatic 2-2 draw with Everton, 13 points clear of Ipswich in the relegation places, and are mainly looking to save face now by climbing as close as they can to the top half.

United will have one eye on European competition with nothing left to play for in the Premier League, though questions will begin to be asked of Amorim if they cannot muster positive results in fixtures such as this.

Ipswich themselves are five points adrift of safety as it stands, with Kieran McKenna’s side knowing that three points against one of the league’s most out-of-form sides could be the difference between relegation and survival come May.
