00:00So, a first home game of the season for Manchester United.
00:05Michael Carrick at the helm and the second biggest net spenders in the Premier League this summer, Ipswich Town, are
00:12the visiting team.
00:19A mild August Sunday afternoon in Manchester.
00:23Drizzle falling from leaden skies.
00:26Manchester United, of course, in the red.
00:30Manchester United's second-half surge last season has engendered plenty of optimism in these parts, as we saw just ahead
00:36of kick-off.
00:37Here's Rashford.
00:38Looping deflection made it very comfortable for Kjell Scherpen, the new Dutch goalkeeper of Ipswich.
00:44Here is Nunez.
00:50And now Maeda.
00:56Nunez, cut out by Uri Tielemans.
01:00Totally successfully.
01:05Bruno Fernandes.
01:09Brian Umbermo.
01:31Once again, Umbermo.
01:32It's time to Dallow.
01:33Dallow.
01:39Marcus Rashford.
01:41Greaves header.
01:44Dallow.
01:45Nice switch.
01:47It was goal-bound.
01:50Bruno Fernandes' corner.
01:53Martinez.
01:56Moisted by Maeda.
01:59Rashford.
02:00And then Emerson.
02:02And then Ciso.
02:03Bursting between two defenders.
02:06Trying to get beyond Shaw.
02:08Lomans' the last line of defence.
02:15And now Manchester United can go the other way.
02:20Cunha.
02:21Flag stays down for now.
02:23Rashford couldn't quite get there.
02:30Davis.
02:32Maeda's pace getting him in.
02:34And it required the save from Lomans.
02:37Quality football by Ipswich.
02:40Really good movement by Maeda.
02:43Just looking.
02:44He just times his run to perfection.
02:46And Dallow switches off just for a second.
02:49That's enough for Maeda to make that run.
02:52And it's picked out really well.
02:53It's a heck of an effort at that angle.
02:58Giving Shaw the slip.
03:02And Davis.
03:06Ipswich in front at Old Trafford.
03:09Where they've got one for 42 years.
03:15And it's the left back, Leif Davis, after brilliant work from the right winger for Tau.
03:49You'll have to trust me on this.
03:50Shaw is out of the game.
03:51He then has the composure with his right foot.
03:53There's the nutmeg.
03:54Off he goes.
03:55He has the composure once he gets into an area.
03:57He's got his head up.
03:58Plays it into a really inviting area for Davies.
04:02But the fullback has a lot to do here.
04:04The ball bounces just in front of him.
04:07And there's every chance that half volley there as it just pops up off the surface goes flying over the
04:12bar.
04:12But he controls it with his instep and drives it into the roof of the net.
04:16What a fantastic goal from an Ipswich perspective.
04:18For Tau.
04:23Just over in Cissot.
04:25And it fell to the goal scorer, Davies.
04:28I think he was surprised that the ball came to him.
04:30It was almost as if he reacted just at the last minute.
04:34But for Tau, full of confidence.
04:36Luke Shaw absolutely isolated out there.
04:39Drops off him.
04:40Doesn't want to get beaten.
04:41That allows for Tau to cut back inside.
04:44Everybody misses it.
04:45He sees it really late.
04:46I think it's Dallow who maybe is just in a position here to put off the fullback getting his second
04:53goal.
04:59Could be a costly error by Nunez.
05:03Bruno Fernandes.
05:061-1.
05:15And an example of just what a ruthless face the Premier League can be.
05:20One misstep by Marcelino Nunez.
05:24Five seconds later, parity.
05:29The quality of this goal is outstanding.
05:32Yes, it's a mistake.
05:34The slip from Nunez just gets caught up in it here and tries to change direction.
05:40Loses his footing.
05:41The quality is here.
05:42This pass is perfect.
05:45That takes the defender out the game.
05:47And then the finish is absolutely outstanding.
05:50He makes it look so easy.
05:52Bruno Fernandes.
05:54Cunha picking up on the mistake.
05:55That ball there is inch perfect.
05:57All he has to do now is think about the first touch and where he's going to place the ball.
06:02His first touch puts the ball straight ahead of him.
06:05And then he hits it with his left foot absolutely in the center of the ball there.
06:11Dallot.
06:14Bruno Fernandes.
06:15Umbermo in with a chance here.
06:22Oh, I think myself, along with most of those United fans behind the goal,
06:26felt he should have taken the shot on there, Umbermo.
06:30Dallot does well to step in and win the ball.
06:32Quick thinking.
06:33One touch.
06:33From Fernandes and Umbermo's away.
06:36He drives that into the...
06:39Dallot.
06:41Rashford!
06:43Umbermo from point-blank range.
06:47How did that stay out?
06:50Can't quite believe what your eyes have seen there.
06:54That looked like a certain goal, didn't it?
06:57Brilliant play.
06:59This ball in is excellent.
07:01The body's in the box, gives the player crossing the ball lots of options.
07:05It's excellent by Marcus Rashford.
07:08Redirecting that back across the goal into a perfect area.
07:12And Umbermo can't do much about it.
07:14It's at a height where he just has to get something on it.
07:16He does.
07:17Comes off the top of his knee and rises.
07:19And he's almost under the goal, isn't he?
07:21Under the crossbar when he strikes it.
07:24That is remarkable that that didn't go in.
07:26Considerating piece of play in particular by Rashford.
07:30Tioff was next to him.
07:33Tiedermans.
07:36Feels for hands against Maguire, but it's play on, it's deflected and it's in.
07:40And Ipswich are saying, hang on a minute, there was a handball in the build-up.
07:45Meantime, Harry Maguire, who scored the winner in this fixture two years ago,
07:49celebrates what he believes to be an authentic and allowable goal.
07:56Yeah, it's the first time in 55, 56 minutes that Ipswich have actually switched off.
08:02And that was a result of them assuming that the referee, Graham Pawson, was going to give a free kick
08:07for what they're suggesting is a handball.
08:10Obviously, it's being checked.
08:16I mean, his hands are within the frame of his body, so I can't see it being overturned.
08:28Referee can't really see that.
08:30And then there's a deflection on the way through, I think, but the Ipswich players become a little bit passive.
08:35Yeah, it's a huge deflection, isn't it, in the end.
08:58He is a giant of a man.
09:04Bruno Fernandes, entirely unfazed.
09:14It will come for Maynou, and now for Umbermo, and now for Bruno Fernandes, who bagged the Manchester United hat
09:23-trick.
09:49I was saying about how well...
09:51I was saying about how well...
09:53Manchester United started this second half, now they've deserved the lead, but they've had a fair slice of luck in
09:57the process, haven't they?
09:58And that goal there typifies that.
10:02You do earn it, of course, but they continue to dominate, moving the ball fast, looking for goals every time
10:08they get the ball.
10:10And Ashford playing the ball across the area, it's failed to be cleared by Ipswich, and then it all starts
10:16ricocheting all over the place.
10:18And Bruno Fernandes on the move, sensing an opportunity.
10:23The ball falls really kind of him there, as he just reacts, keeps his run going, expecting something might come
10:31from him, it does.
10:33Nice first touch, makes it look so easy, and just passes it into the net.
10:41It's just the third time that a Manchester United player has bagged a hat-trick, and he goes for number
10:47four against Scherf, and he must believe anything's possible at the moment.
10:52He's just the third man ever to score a hat-trick for Manchester United against Ipswich.
10:59Bruno Fernandes, it's a glorious pass, it's Brian Umbermo, and it's in, five for Manchester United.
11:15Martinez robbed by Enciso, and Akpom tucks it in.
11:23A moment of Manchester United overconfidence, perhaps.
11:26You've got to be furious if you're a Manchester United player.
11:31Alessandro Martinez was taking liberties there, wasn't he?
11:33Assuming he was just going to stroll out with a couple of tricks in a dangerous area, and Ciso, tenacious,
11:41hard-working, wins the ball back, and simple pass to Akpom.
11:46And Gary O'Neill, I'm sure, will be using that first-half performance to help them improve and give them
11:54confidence.
11:54That does it.
11:56A very comfortable Manchester United win in the end, after a rather uncertain first-half.
