And fans were eager to see if Amorim would adopt his famed 3-4-3 formation from Sporting Lisbon.
He led the club to two league titles with the versatile shape.
But on his United bow, Amorim appears to have opted to continue with Ten Hag’s 4-2-3-1 system.
The gaffer named just centre-backs in his side, with Matthijs de Ligt partnering Jonny Evans with Noussair Mazraoui and Diogo Dalot either side.
In midfield, it appeared to be a three of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen with Bruno Fernandes pushed further forward.
While in attack, Marcus Rashford was selected as striker with Amad Diallo and Alejandro Garnacho out wide.
United XI to face Ipswich: Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Evans, Dalot; Casemiro, Eriksen; Amad, Fernandes, Garnacho; Rashford
