Amorim said on Friday “we have some guys returning from injury”.
The new United manager said long-term absentee Luke Shaw “is feeling fine” but stressed the left-back will need to carefully build up match fitness.
“We have some guys returning from injury, so we had some moments together, working in that indoor pitch [on] tactical work,” said Amorim ahead of his first game in charge.
“We have to manage the load during this week with some players from national teams [as well], but we are ready to face Ipswich.”
On Shaw, Amorim said: “Luke is feeling fine, but we have to build his fitness during games, so we have to be careful.
“I think he’s a very good player, so I will take care of him and I want these kinds of players that are important in our squad for a long period and not just for a game.”
