Manchester United’s set-piece prowess powered them to a 3-2 victory against Ipswich despite playing with ten men for over a half.

Man Utd gave Everton deja vu as they began with a comical miscommunication between Dorgu and Onana to hand Ipswich an early lead.

Fortunately, they didn’t wait till the second half to stage a comeback, scoring via two set-pieces- an own goal and a De Ligt goal- to reverse it.

Dorgu’s eventful evening came to an early end after a VAR review saw him sent off and Ipswich equalised immediately after to end a breathless first half.

The second half started on the same note, with Harry Maguire restoring United’s lead via a corner. Ipswich threatened in waves but United kept them at arm’s length to secure a gritty win.

Here’s how the players rated-

Andre Onana – 2

Mix-up with Dorgu for the first and dived pointlessly for the second to add to misplaced passes. A nightmare.

Leny Yoro – 6.5

Tried to replicate Lisandro Martinez’s skills by bombing forward and did an appreciable job.

Harry Maguire – 7

Not at fault for any goal and scored his first league goal of the season with a nice header.

Matthijs de Ligt – 6.5

Scored United’s second but could’ve been more assertive with Liam Delap on occasion.

Diogo Dalot – 4

Played on both sides in the first half alone due to Dorgu’s sending-off and didn’t impress on either.

Patrick Dorgu – 2

Mixed moments of madness with glimpses of hope but an early shower can’t be rated well.

Manuel Ugarte – 6

Made his usual tackles and interceptions but the team needed more on the ball.

Bruno Fernandes – 9

Played defender, midfielder, and attacker all at once. His set-pieces were United’s biggest threat and his running was that of a man possessed.

Joshua Zirkzee – 6.5

Started uncertainly but grew into it. Strong hold-up and link-up play.

Alejandro Garnacho – 6

Provided a laborious United with thrust and running but wrongly sacrificed after Dorgu’s red.

Rasmus Hojlund – 2

Should’ve come off instead of Garnacho. Wasted again up top and devoid of confidence.

Substitutes

Noussair Mazraoui – 6.5

Unexpectedly thrown into the deep end with a knock but fared really well.

Casemiro – 6.5

Ipswich attacked in waves and he did his job to repel it.

Christian Eriksen – 6

Came on in added time.

Victor Lindelof – 6

Same as Eriksen.
