Manchester United had to come from behind in search of a first Premier League win of the new 2026–27 season. But the Red Devils ultimately benefited from a significant slice of luck that allowed the go-ahead goal forced by Harry Maguire to stand.
United initially trailed because of a wonderfully controlled first-half strike from Ipswich left back Leif Davis. Bruno Fernandes canceled out that advantage when Marcelino Núñez slipped in midfield to gift Michael Carrick’s team a three-on-one breakaway.
