Ipswich had the temerity to take an early lead, but United overhauled them before the interval and did not look back across a second half that brought three further goals.
Ipswich's bright start quickly extinguished
Davis gave the visitors a 29th-minute advantage, finishing from an Abdul Fatawu assist to make it 0-1 and silence a packed Old Trafford. The lead lasted barely a quarter of an hour. Fernandes equalised in the 40th minute, converting a Matheus Cunha assist with characteristic precision to send the sides in level at 1-1 at the break.
United take control in the second half
The second half belonged to United. Harry Maguire restored the home side's lead with a header on 56 minutes following a Jacob Greaves error. Three minutes later, referee Craig Pawson pointed to the spot after Greaves was adjudged to have been reckless, and Fernandes stepped up to convert the penalty and make it 3-1.

Chuba Akpom pulled one back for Ipswich Town in the closing stages to set the final scoreline at 5-2.
Dominant statistics underline United's control
Manchester United enjoyed 60 per cent possession across both halves and registered 33 attempts at goal, 12 of which were on target. Ipswich Town, despite generating nine shots with five on target and winning seven tackles, could never truly threaten a comeback once United had moved clear. It was a Matchday 2 that produced considerable goalmouth action across the Premier League, and United's tally of five was among the most emphatic returns of the round.
United were without De Ligt and Ugarte through absence, while Ipswich were missing Matusiwa, Florentino, and Philogene. Greaves and Lukić received yellow cards for the visitors, with Fatawu also cautioned; Mbeumo was booked for United late on. The result moves United into winning form and leaves Ipswich Town, despite their enterprising display in patches, with a difficult result to absorb early in the campaign.
