'Has a little problem' - Ruben Amorim reveals why Manchester United star is missing from Ipswich line up
Manchester United have made two changes to their starting line up to face Ipswich Town in the Premier League on Wednesday night. United will need to improve from their weekend draw with Everton and Ruben Amorim has made a couple of changes in an attempt to freshen things up.
Leny Yoro starts in central defence in place of Noussair Mazraoui after the defender suffered a knock in the 2-2 draw with Everton on Saturday lunchtime. The other change sees Alejandro Garnacho come in for Casemiro, with Bruno Fernandes expected to partner Manuel Ugarte in a central midfield role.

United have lost five of their last six league home matches under Amorim and know a victory could end any talk of an unlikely relegation battle.
Ruben Amorim explains starting line up
Speaking ahead of Manchester United’s clash with Ipswich Town, head coach Ruben Amorim explained his starting line up and why he had made two changes for the match. "Nous has a little problem but Leny was already (ready) to play," he told MUTV. "Leny is a big talent, very agile... we try to see the opponent and choose the better (suited) players to start. Garna is to give different pace in certain moments of the game."
He added: “It's a big game for us. We need to win. We need to have the three points. In the end of the game, we should be here with the three points and a better performance than last week. For many games, we have the disadvantage first and then we start playing football. So our goal is to start since the first minute."
