Ruben Amorim is set to include 16-year-old centre-back Godwill Kukonki on the bench in his first squad as Manchester United head coach.

Amoim will take charge of the Red Devils for the first time on Sunday when his side visit Ipswich, with the Portuguese boss having replaced Erik ten Hag.

United will be without defenders Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro and Victor Lindelof for the the trip to Portman Road, with Luke Shaw and Lisandro Martinez also doubts.

Teenage centre-back Kukonki will be named in the squad for the first time having impressed in training.

The 6ft5 defender trained with the first team this week and will provide much needed  cover at the back.
