Prior to taking the job at Ipswich, Kieran McKenna was on the coaching staff at Man Utd.
He was linked to the Old Trafford role after he led the Tractor Boys to the Premier League as well as some other jobs with big clubs.
Having won at Tottenham last time out, he will be looking to put back-to-back wins for his team this afternoon to relieve their relegation fears somewhat.
The much-anticipated arrival of Ruben Amorim will finally happen at Portman Road today.
Following his success at Sporting Lisbon, much is expected from the new manager.
Fans are expecting him to turn around the Red Devils and get them back to challenging for major honours once again.
Fresh off the back of their first win of the Premier League campaign, the Tractor Boys welcome Man Utd to Portman Road with their new manager Ruben Amorim.
Kieran McKenna’s side will have Kalvin Phillips eligible after his recent ban although he is struggling with a knock and may not start.
Nathan Broadhead, Wes Burns, Jacob Greaves and Omari Hutchinson are all on the touch-and-go list but Chiedozie Ogbene and George Hirst are definitely out.
Conor Chaplin is on standby to operate off Delap while ex-Man Utd defender Axel Tuanzebe is set to start at right back against his former employers.
Amorim could be boosted by the returns of Kobbie Mainoo, Leny Yoro and Luke Shaw after all three were involved in the Portuguese manager’s first training session earlier in the week.
Yoro and Shaw may not be risked due to the length of the injuries that kept them out. Tyrell Malacia, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof are all major doubts.
Jonny Evans and Matthijs de Ligt are expected to take the two centre-back spots unless the new manager decides to play Casemiro there instead.
This is an important game for both teams, for very different reasons, but they will be looking for three points to improve their standings in the Premier League table.
