Fernandes' perfect performance - Man Utd v Ipswich player ratings

What the report says

BBC Sport Football reported on player ratings from Manchester United’s 5-2 Premier League win over Ipswich Town at Old Trafford. The piece focused on individual performances after a match in which United recovered from going behind, with Bruno Fernandes the standout after scoring a hat-trick and nearly adding a fourth. The article also noted that Manchester United’s fans can submit their own ratings through BBC Sport’s system.

Fernandes received the strongest praise, with BBC Sport describing his display as decisive and calm, including an equaliser, a penalty finish and a third goal that underlined his influence as captain. Other United players were rated positively, including Senne Lammens, Harry Maguire and Bryan Mbeumo, while Marcus Rashford’s first league start for the club since December 2024 was also highlighted. Some concerns were noted in defence and midfield, where Ipswich were able to create chances and score twice.

For Ipswich, the article singled out goalkeeper Kjell Scherpen, full-back Leif Davis and forward Julio Enciso for strong individual efforts despite the defeat. BBC Sport said Ipswich started well and led for part of the match, with players such as Abdul Fatawu and Sasa Lukić credited for helping them compete. The overall ratings reflected a game that swung on Fernandes’ quality and United’s response after conceding first, while Ipswich were left to reflect on missed opportunities.
