Bruno Fernandes scored a hat-trick as Manchester United came from behind to comfortably beat Ipswich Town.

The visitors, who beat Sunderland on their Premier League return last weekend, led when Leif Davis scored a fine half-volley after wonderful wing play by Abdul Fatawu.

BBC reports that the whole momentum of the game turned when Marcelino Nunez slipped, allowing United to break from a corner and Matheus Cunha fed Fernandes to score.

United then led when Harry Maguire’s shot was deflected in by Jacob Greaves for an own goal.

The ball hit Maguire’s arms in the build-up but the goal was allowed since he did not score it himself.

Three minutes later Ipswich centre-back Greaves was involved again, chopping down Cunha for a penalty – which Fernandes dispatched.

The United captain then grabbed his third, pouncing after Kobbie Mainoo and Bryan Mbeumo both had shots blocked.

Fernandes then sent Mbeumo away with a ball over the top and his shot hit the crossbar before spinning over the line to make it 5-1 to the hosts.

Ipswich grabbed a late consolation when Julio Enciso cut the ball back for half-time substitute Chuba Akpom to score to make it 5-2.
