Fernandes' perfect performance - Man Utd v Ipswich player ratings

In the Manchester United versus Ipswich encounter, individual performances were assessed with the following ratings: Kjell Scherpen earned an 8 after delivering superb prevention of Dalot’s opener and an important interaction that thwarted Mbeumo’s casual finish, with no accidental involvement in the equaliser. Dara O'Shea received a 6 for a robust antiaircraft display that held firm until Fernandes assumed control of the game. Issa Diop was awarded a 6 despite considerable scrambling in defence; he managed adequately for the latter stages and communicated effectively with the Ipswich back line. Jacob Greaves garnered a 6 for composure in dealing with the shot and maintaining his position, though he appeared to lack a certain presence at this level when Cunha dropped deeper. Leif Davis was credited with an 8 for his superb run down the left that released Dalot to set up Maeda’s chance, executing his finish precisely and appearing capable of adding another. Marcelino Nunez received a 6 after a busy showing in front of the defence, seeking to get on the ball and slot between the centre‑halves, though a disastrous mistake at the wrong moment gifted Manchester United the vital equaliser. Sasa Lukic was given a 7 for an excellent addition to Ipswich’s ranks, using his tactical awareness to stall the home side’s momentum, albeit at the expense of a yellow card. Abdul Fatawu earned a 7 after skirting Shaw near the touchline and showing the awareness to release a teammate as Ipswich took the lead; he was booked for a mediocre challenge on Mbeumo but otherwise performed well. Julio Ensico was rated an 8 for containing Shaw and Mbeumo on lengthy runs, although his efforts lacked power and therefore went unrewarded despite being a genuine threat. Daizan Maeda received a 7 for an early foray down the left that signalled Ipswich’s intentions, with a shot from the edge of the area threatening the United goal. Emersonn was awarded a 6 for attempting to use his size to pin Maguire and Martinez back and relishing the physical tussle with the English defender. Among the substitutes, Chuba Akpom, who came on for Emersonn in the 46th minute, was rated a 7. Exequiel Palacios, introduced for Nunez in the 62nd minute, received a 6. Darnell Furlong, replacing Maeda in the 72nd minute, was given a 6. Abdoul Ouattara, who entered for Lukic in the 73rd minute, earned a 5. Kasey McAteer, substituted for Fatawu in the 83rd minute, also received a 5. The unused substitutes were Walton, Kipre, Egeli and Clarke.
