What happened. Manchester United eased to a thumping win over Ipswich Town, their first victory of the season, with Bruno Fernandes playing an influential role.

• Carlos Baleba, a £70m injured midfielder, was paraded before kick-off.
• New signings Andrey Santos, Youri Tielemans, and Karl Darlow were acknowledged.
• Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, last summer's marquee recruits, also impressed.

Fernandes' continued presence underscores United's transfer strategy, having been linked with a move away last summer.
