Man Utd star says narrow home win over Ipswich was ‘really good achievement’

Manchester United picke up a dramatic 3-2 win over Ipswich on Wednesday night, with Matthijs de Ligt lauding the ‘really good achievement’ for the Red Devils.

It was a tricky night for Ruben Amorim’s side เล่นบาคาร่า UFABET เว็บตรง ค่าคอมสูง after getting off to a terrible start as Jaden Philogene put the visitors ahead after four minutes thanks to a mix-up between Patrick Dorgu and Andre Onana.

The home side bounce back and were ahead after 26 minutes thanks to a Sam Morsy own goal and De Ligt netting a second.

Dorgu was then shown a red card for a grim challenge on Omari Hutchinson and Philogene’s second made it 2-2 at half-time.

Harry Maguire was the hero, though, with his 47th minute header proving to be the winner for United.

De Ligt was please with the fighting spirit shown by the Red Devils, picking up just their ninth Premier League win of the season in the process.

‘I think it was a hard fought win,’ De Ligt told MUTV. ‘The second half with 10 men, fighting, even scoring, it was a really good achievement.

It was a good game from us in the second half. I think in the first half we didn’t even play that bad, we just conceded two silly goals. Obviously, this can always happen in football.

‘In general, I think we made some improvements compare to the last game.’

After three league games without a win, the Red Devils stoppe the rot with the victory over the Tractor Boys, climbing to 14th in the table.

‘Really important. This was a really important game for us. We know what situation we are in,’ said the Dutch defender.

‘If at half-time you are down to 10 men and it’s 2-2, obviously it is going to be a really difficult second half, so I think it’s a really important win for us and hopefully we can continue against Fulham.’

Amorim was obviously delighte with the win, but admitte there is still a lot of improvement to be achieve by his side.

Bruno Fernandes was yet again the key player for the Red Devils, providing two assists, and the manager credite his performance from deeper in midfield than we sometimes see him.
