Watch Manchester United Vs Ipswich highlights as Harry Maguire’s second-half header wins it for Manchester United at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.

United had to do it the hard way once again after gifting Ipswich the opener in just the fourth minute.

England defender Maguire’s powerful header from a Bruno Fernandes corner was enough to win the chaotic five-goal thriller.

The hosts went down to ten men in the first half after Patrick Dorgu was sent off.

He was dismissed following a VAR intervention for his horror tackle on Ipswich winger Omari Hutchinson.

Referee Darren England initially missed the foul, but VAR Craig Pawson stepped in to confirm serious foul play and recommend a red card.

Ipswich took advantage within minutes as Jaden Phologene’s cross went all the way in past Andre Onana in the United goal.

The Cameroon keeper’s worst moment of the night came in the opening minutes, though.

As Dorgu dealt with as long ball, the pair got mixed up and Dorgu played the ball straight to Philogene for an easy goal.

United then levelled through a Sam Morsy own goal. He headed into his own net while failing to deal with a free kick from Bruno Fernandes.

The hosts then took the lead when Matthijs de Ligt scrambled the ball in after United were denied twice in quick succession.

Philogene restored parity, in added time before the break, with Maguire’s winner coming two minutes after the restart.
