Ipswich made a real go of it for a half, evading United's high press by exploiting isolated full-backs.
Once Lisandro Martinez started dictating United's patterns of possession into midfield, the game opened up completely and United ran away with it.
Ed and Dharnish dig into why United's press still isn't functioning, how much of the transformation in build-up play comes down to Martinez specifically and how well Mainoo and Tielemans dovetailed.
They also look at Cunha and Bruno rotating as false nines, question whether it costs United a real box presence and close with a positive verdict on Ipswich as a team for the rest of the season.
