Man Utd vs Ipswich: Red Devils survive Onana howler, Dorgu red card to see off Tractor Boys

Manchester United survived difficult circumstances to defeat relegation-threatened Ipswich 3-2 at Old Trafford.

Harry Maguire's second-half header gave Ruben Amorim's Manchester United all three points in a dramatic affair at Old Trafford.

Ipswich started strong and were gifted the opener in the 4th minute when André Onana rushed out and Patrick Dorgu passed the ball past him, allowing Jaden Philogene to roll it over the line. United tied proceedings at the half-hour mark when Sam Morsy diverted Bruno Fernandes' free-kick into his own net.

Another Fernandes set-piece caused chaos, with Palmer denying Maguire and Diogo Dalot before Matthijs de Ligt turned the loose ball home.

The hosts were reduced to 10 men when January signing Patrick Dorgu was shown a straight red card for his tackle on Omari Hutchinson. Matters worsened before halftime as Philogene's cross narrowly evaded Liam Delap and Onana, finding the bottom corner.

Down to 10 men, United needed a lift and received it two minutes into the second half, as an unmarked Harry Maguire headed Fernandes' corner past the stranded Ipswich keeper

The win sees United climb into 14th, while Ipswich continue their battle for survival.
