Manchester United’s performance against Ipswich is candidly acknowledged by Matthijs de Ligt.

Manchester United’s performance against Ipswich is the subject of an honest admission by Matthijs de Ligt, the centre-back.

Matthijs de Ligt is of the opinion that Manchester United exhibited “some improvements” after defeating Ipswich Town 3-2 at Old Trafford on Wednesday night. United achieved their first Premier League victory in nearly a month,

despite playing with ten men for over half of the match after Patrick Dorgu was dismissed shortly before halftime. Harry Maguire scored the game’s only goal in the second half shortly after the break. After only four minutes, United was a goal down as Jaden Philogene capitalised on a defensive mix-up between Andre Onana and Dorgu.

Nevertheless, the Reds promptly reversed the momentum of the game by scoring an own-goal by Sam Morsy and De Ligt’s first goal since September. Philogene’s cross evaded everyone and found the bottom corner, allowing Ipswich to draw level in first-half stoppage time after Dorgu’s red card for a nasty challenge on Omari Hutchinson was shortly exploited.

Nevertheless, United was able to secure the victory when Maguire headed in from a Bruno Fernandes corner. De Ligt stated to MUTV, “I believe it was a closely contested victory.” “As you mentioned, the second half was a remarkable accomplishment, as ten men fought and scored.”

In general, I believe we made some improvements compared to the last game. We played well in the second half. I believe we didn’t play that poorly in the first half; we just conceded two silly goals.

Obviously, this can always happen in football. United will now shift their attention to Sunday’s FA Cup fifth round tie with Fulham at Old Trafford, and De Ligt believes the confidence they gained from the win over Ipswich will be crucial.
