Bruno Fernandes’s hat-trick inspired a Man United fightback from a goal down to thrash Ipswich 5-2 and get their Premier League season up and running on Sunday.
After a nightmare 2-0 defeat to Hull last weekend, another newly-promoted side had the Red Devils on the ropes when Leif Davis opened the scoring for the Tractor Boys.
But Fernandes blasted home to level before half-time and then converted from the penalty spot after a Jacob Greaves own goal put United in front.
