How Manchester United and Ipswich Town's players rated following their Premier League match.

How did Rashford do on return to Man Utd XI? Player ratings

Marcus Rashford made his first league start for Manchester United since December 2024, and he demonstrated a strong performance in the match against Ipswich. With two pre-season failures, Rashford scored an equalizer and had a goal deflected as it hit the bar from close range. He also assisted Kobbie Mainoo in getting his goal. Fernandes, Manchester United's captain, excelled with a hat-trick, showcasing a sensational performance and keeping his nerve during the penalty shootout after failing twice in pre-season.

Maguire provided a reliable presence at the heart of the home defense, while Martinez offered experience and coped well for the most part. Shaw faced difficulties dealing with Fatawu, and Youri Tielemans struggled defensively. Substitutes like Kobbie Mainoo, Matheus Cunha, and Daizan Maeda also contributed positively to the team's performance.
