Amorim replaced Dutch tactician Erik ten Hag, who was sacked in October following a run of poor performances that saw the Red Devils suffer four defeats in nine games.
The Portuguese manager takes charge of a team that has not shown any consistency in recent months, particularly in the league.
United, who occupy the 13th spot at the moment in the table standings, travel to the Portman Road Stadium on the back of two wins in five matches.
Their most recent victory came against former champions Leicester City on Sunday, November 10 at Old Trafford Stadium.
