Manchester United demonstrated resilience by overcoming a 1-0 deficit and persevering with 10 players to secure a 2-2 draw against Ipswich, eventually winning the match. Matthijs de Ligt played a crucial role by scoring during a challenging second half, emphasizing the importance of their performance and improvement since the last game. He credited set-pieces, specifically utilizing height and quality crosses, for scoring. De Ligt acknowledged the difficulty of playing a second half with a reduced squad but remained optimistic about future matches, indicating a focus on maintaining momentum against Fulham.
I think it was a hard-fought win. [...] Even the first half we didn't even play that bad, we just conceded two silly goals. [...] in general we made some improvements compared to the last game.
We have a lot of strengths at set-pieces with our heights and the crosses from Bruno. I am happy that today we could score two goals like that.
This was a really important game for us. Obviously we know what situation we are in and if you are in at half-time with ten men, 2-2, it is going to be a difficult second half.
So I think it is a really important win for us and hopefully we can continue that against Fulham.
