McKenna was a first-team coach at Old Trafford under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Since his appointment in December 2021, he has done wonders at Ipswich. He expects a great game against his former club.

"Sunday, what a game. It's one we're really, really looking forward to, I have to say. Not on a personal connection because I've been at Man United, but as manager of Ipswich Town Football Club, to be on that stage, it's what we've worked so hard for over the last couple of years," he said via Manchester Evening News.

He added that it will be bigger because it is Amorim's first game as coach.

"We're coming off the back of a great game, a great result, and now we've got one of the biggest football clubs in the world coming to our stadium and I think we're going to give them a helluva a game."

Man United last played Ipswich in the Premier League in 2002. The Tractor Boys are coming off their first win this season away at Tottenham Hotspur.
