Head-to-head history

Old Trafford has traditionally been a difficult venue for Ipswich, though the Tractor Boys have pulled off famous results here in the past. Their 1980s meetings, when Ipswich were genuine title challengers, remain part of English football folklore.

Why this match mattered

After losing their opening league game to Hull City, Manchester United desperately needed a response — and they got one in emphatic fashion. The 5-2 victory gives Michael Carrick’s side momentum, while Fernandes’ three-goal performance will be one of the major talking points from the weekend. For Ipswich, the scoreline was harsh on a side that competed strongly for long periods, but conceding five at Old Trafford highlights the challenge facing them back in the Premier League
