Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 59
Ipswich wins: 19
Draws: 10
Man Utd wins: 30
Not one of the most frequent fixtures in English football and one that did not take place until 1958 - an FA Cup tie that Manchester United won 2-0 - there have now been 59 competitive showdowns between the Red Devils and Ipswich Town.
Unsurprisingly, the 20-time English champions lead the way in terms of successes with 30 to their name, most recently edging a five-goal thriller 3-2 at Old Trafford in February 2025.
Ipswich only boast 11 fewer victories at 19, though, while 10 stalemates have been played out, including a 1-1 draw in Ruben Amorim's first Premier League game in November 2024.
When the two sides locked horns in the 2024-25 Premier League campaign, it marked the end of a nine-year spell without a meeting between Man United and Ipswich since the Red Devils eased to a 3-0 EFL Cup third-round win in 2015.
Wayne Rooney, Andreas Pereira and Anthony Martial were responsible for the goals on that occasion, which saw Man United defeat Ipswich for the fourth time in a row, having also won three straight Premier League games from December 2000 to April 2002.
Before 2024, August 2000 was the last time that the Tractor Boys managed to avoid a beating at the hands of Man United - a 1-1 draw at Portman Road where David Beckham saved the Red Devils' bacon - and Ipswich have to go back to 1997 for their most recent success.
That year, the Suffolk outfit shocked Sir Alex Ferguson's men 2-0 in the League Cup, and their most recent Premier League triumph over Man United was a 3-2 home win in 1994, where Eric Cantona and Paul Scholes strikes were in vain.
However, sandwiched in between those two successes for Ipswich was the joint-biggest victory ever seen in the Premier League, as the Red Devils annihilated the Tractor Boys 9-0 on March 4, 1995, a game that saw Andy Cole score a fabulous five goals.
Cole is not the highest scorer in matches between Man United and Ipswich, though - that honour belongs to Denis Law (10) - while Paul Mariner struck eight for the Tractor Boys against the Red Devils.
