“That was abysmal” – Man United concede early goal to Ipswich Town following Dorgu and Onana calamity



Manchester United conceded an early goal to Ipswich Town at Old Trafford due to a breakdown in communication between Andre Onana and Patrick Dorgu.

Within the opening five minutes, a lofted pass fell into United’s defensive third, but confusion between Onana and Dorgu led to a costly mistake. Dorgu unintentionally directed the ball past his goalkeeper, allowing Jaden Philogene-Bidace to easily slot it into the net.

BBC Sport journalist Simon Stone criticized the defensive lapse, stating, “That was abysmal. We are talking basic communication. Andre Onana can see the entire pitch ahead of him. He either has to shout at Patrick Dorgu to clear the ball or step back himself. I cannot begin to imagine what Ruben Amorim is thinking.”

Manchester United had an opportunity to level the score shortly after, but Ipswich goalkeeper Alex Palmer made an impressive save, diving to his left to deny Harry Maguire’s powerful header from a corner. However, United eventually equalized in the 20th minute when Bruno Fernandes delivered a free-kick into the box, leading to an own goal from Sam Moray.

Despite sitting 13 points ahead of Ipswich before kickoff, United fans remained anxious, with some half-jokingly suggesting that a loss could pull the team into a relegation battle.

Manager Ruben Amorim has been under increasing pressure, as the team had not secured a league victory in over a month. A defeat to Ipswich would have further intensified concerns, potentially leaving the 20-time English champions closer to the relegation zone than the top half of the table with just nine matches remaining.
