Manchester United struggled with communication in defense, allowing Ipswich Town to score early in their match at Old Trafford. A mistake between goalkeeper Andre Onana and defender Patrick Dorgu resulted in a goal for Jaden Philogene-Bidace. Despite falling behind, United managed to equalize after a free-kick led to an own goal by Sam Moray. With United's previous league win having been over a month prior, the team faced mounting pressure to avoid a relegation battle as they were just nine games away from the season's end.
The ball fell over the top inside five minutes and the two Red Devils players did not know what the other was doing, so Dorgu knocked it behind towards goal and behind Onana, leaving Jaden Philogene-Bidace with a tap-in.
I cannot begin to imagine what Ruben Amorim is thinking, as Man United's winless run extends and hopes for relegation linger with just nine games left.
Man United did eventually find the goal on 20 minutes after Bruno Fernandes whipped in a free-kick and Sam Moray inadvertently headed into his own net.
Heading into the match, the Old Trafford club sat 13 points clear of Ipswich Town, but that gap wasn't enough to ease fans' nerves about potential relegation.
