Harry Maguire played a crucial role as Manchester United edged Ipswich Town 3-2 at Old Trafford on Wednesday.
The win eases relegation concerns for the club, despite individual errors from Andre Onana and Patrick Dorgu.
United fell behind early when Dorgu, under pressure from Jaden Philogene, misjudged a back pass, allowing the Ipswich forward to score into an empty net.
It was the 21st time United had conceded first this season.
Bruno Fernandes’ set-piece deliveries helped the Red Devils recover.
Ipswich captain Sam Morsy turned a Fernandes free-kick into his own net before Matthijs de Ligt bundled in a Fernandes corner at the third attempt to put United ahead.
However, United’s problems continued. Dorgu was sent off following a VAR review for a reckless challenge on Omari Hutchinson, and Onana misjudged a Philogene cross that curled directly into the net, bringing Ipswich level before halftime.
Despite being down to 10 men, United found a winner through Maguire, who rose highest to head in another Fernandes corner early in the second half.
The hosts then defended strongly to secure their first home league win in over a month.
