Manchester United vs Ipswich Town History

Ipswich Town and Manchester United were both founded back in 1878, yet the two clubs have experienced contrasting fortunes in the English game. Ipswich enjoyed only sprinkles of success during the second half of the 20th century, winning the First Division title in 1962 and then the FA Cup 16 years later, thanks to a 1-0 victory over Arsenal at Wembley Stadium.

ITFC regularly competed in European football during the 70s and early 80s, and the Suffolk-based side managed to clinch the UEFA Cup (precursor to the Europa League) in 1981. Ipswich defeated Dutch outfit AZ Alkmaar, 5-4 on aggregate, for what was the club’s first major European title.

In comparison, Man United have enjoyed plenty more success with no fewer than 20 top-flight titles and three European Cup/Champions League crowns. The Red Devils won the FA Cup for the 13th time in 2024, thanks to a 2-1 triumph over local rivals Manchester City.

MUFC remains one of the best supported and most commercially-attractive clubs in world football. This means that Man Utd tickets are ever so popular and high in demand. Fortunately, with SeatPick, fans can find and buy the best football tickets at the cheapest prices.

Manchester United vs Ipswich Town Head-to-Head

These teams have shared a pitch on more than 50 occasions, though meetings between them have been few and far between for much of the 21st century. This has mainly been due to the absence of Ipswich from the Premier League from 2002 until 2024.

During the 1994/95 season this fixture saw MUFC record a resounding 9-0 victory over Ipswich. Andy Cole scored five on the day as Roy Keane, Mark Hughes (2) and Paul Ince also found the back of the net at Old Trafford. The Red Devils ultimately lost out on the Premier League title on the final day of the campaign, while Ipswich Town finished bottom of the pile and succumbed to relegation to the new First Division.

Manchester United won home and away against Ipswich in the 2001/02 Premier League season, which was followed by 22 years of Ipswich remaining away from the English top flight. Man Utd picked up a 4-0 win in this particular fixture, thanks to goals from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (2), Ronny Johnsen and Andy Cole.
