00:00Manchester United could be without 10 players when they face Ipswich Town in the Premier League on Wednesday night.

00:05Ruben Amirov has just given his press conference here at Carrington.

00:09He said he doesn't expect any players to be back from the side that drew 2-0 with Everton at the weekend.

00:14It means United will still be without the likes of Lissandro Martinez and Ahmad Diallo, who are both set to miss the remainder of the season.

00:21Kobi Menou has been ruled out until after the March international break, so that could be around five weeks without him.

00:27He potentially could return for an FA Cup quarter-final if United get past Fulham this weekend.

00:34Altai Bayinde, Tom Heaton, Jonny Evans still sidelined.

00:37Toby Collier is the player closest to return from injury.

00:42Luke Shaw and Mason Mount, both long-term absentees for United.

00:48And it also means that Nusra Mazraoui, there isn't really an official update on him.

00:53The Moroccan limped out of the draw with Everton in the 70th minute.

00:58He picked up a knock to his right knee in the early exchanges.

01:01He initially carried on in the match before he had to be replaced by Lenny Yoros.

01:06United could be without 10 players, expected to be without at least nine when they face Ipswich Town.

01:13On Wednesday night, Ruben Amirov also spoke about the job cuts at Manchester United.

01:19As many as 200 people could be made redundant in the latest round of cost-cutting measures from Ineos and Jim Ratcliffe.

01:27He said that ultimately the failure of the men's first team has to take a lot of the responsibility for the financial issues.

01:33United on course for their lowest ever Premier League finish.

01:37It means they could miss out on European football next season as well.

01:40If they were to win the Europa League, they'd pull off a Champions League.

01:43And if they were to win the FA Cup, they could get a passage into the Europa League as well.

01:47Both of those seem highly unlikely, given just how poor United have been across all competitions this season.

01:54And Ruben Amirov also said that, look, he wants to start improving their poor home form as well.

01:58United have won just two home league games since he took charge.

02:01They will still oddly be the favourites to beat relegation friend Ipswich in midweek.

02:06It is easier said than done, though. United, you can make a case for them to lose against just about any opposition right now.

02:12United take on Ipswich Town Wednesday night at Old Trafford.
