- Man Utd 5-2 Ipswich: How the players rated
[BBC]
Ipswich Town starting XI:
Kjell Scherpen:Superb save to deny Dalot the opener and crucial touch to deny Mbeumo an easy finish. No chance with the equaliser. 8
Dara O'Shea:Robust defensive display and did well, until Fernandes took control. 6

Issa Diop:Lot of scrambling defence for the former West Ham man but coped OK for the most part and talked the Ipswich rearguard through the game. 6
Jacob Greaves:Composed on the ball and held his position, not getting drawn out when Cunha dropped deep. Probably lacked a bit of class at this level. 6
Leif Davis:Superb pass inside Dalot to release Maeda created one good chance for the visitors. Precise execution for his goal and might have had another. 8
Marcelino Nunez:Busy, in front of defence, wants to get on ball and slot in between centre-halves. Disastrous slip at just the wrong time let Man Utd in for crucial equaliser. 6

Sasa Lukic:Excellent addition to Ipswich ranks. Had the game nous to halt the home side's momentum, even at the expense of a yellow card. 7
Abdul Fatawu:Skinned Shaw close to the touchline and then had the awareness to pick out a team-mate as Ipswich took the lead. Booked for a poor tackle on Mbeumo but overall really good. 7
Julio Ensico:Held off Shaw and Mbeumo on length-of-field run but no reward as effort lacked power. A real threat. 8
Daizan Maeda:Good early raid down the left was early sign of Ipswich intentions. Shot from angle of area threatened home goal. 7
Emersonn:Tried use his size to pin Maguire and Martinez back and relished the physical tussle with the England man. 6
