Ruben Amorim says that Manchester United “completely earned” their 3-2 victory on Ipswich Town, after he had played the second half with 10 men.
Yaden Philogene had given the lead after a defensive confusion early, but Sam Morsy's own goal and the close-range finish of Matthijs de Ligt turned around.
Patrick Dorgu was then sent away in the 43rd minute for a late tackle on Omari Hutchinson, with the cross of Philogene to restore parity to the break.
Harry Maguire scored only two minutes after the break to restore United's lead, with the hosts defending the avid to get a much -needed three points.
United has now won 110 Premier League matches after he has admitted the first goal, most of each party in the Premier League history.
However, it was a well -known situation for the men of Amorim, because this was the 12th time that they had admitted the first goal in the competition since his first game that was in charge on November 24, most of each side.
Amorim was happy with the reaction they showed to the early setback, as well as the determination of their defense in the second half.
“I am not frustrated,” Amorim told TNT Sports. “We checked the game and since the first minute I felt that the players were trying to play and we managed to score two goals.

“The aftertaste changed the game a bit, but the fight that the fans showed, and the fans helped a lot, and we deserved the three points completely.
“There are a few moments that are really difficult, but that is of course in every profession, you have to suffer.”
Dorgu was also the error for the opener of Ipswich, not looking for the ball back to Andre Onana, who had rushed his line, leaving Philogene with an empty net to strive for.
The left back was Amorim's only signature in the January transfer window, but he is convinced that it is suitable for the competition.
“Players can have a mistake like Patrick today. He wants to play the ball,” Amorim added.
“He is ready for the Premier League. Last week he had a good performance against Everton.
[On Wednesday]she [the critics] Will say that he is not experienced enough for the Premier League, but I don't feel that way. “
In the meantime, Ipswich's waiting went on a victory in 2025 when they fell to a second consecutive defeat.
The tractor boys have defeated this calendar year (two) fewer points than any other Premier League side, while they have dropped the most points of winning positions in the competition (22).
They remain five points behind the 17th place Wolves and only avoid relegation in 2.8% of the OPTA Supercomputer simulations.
Kieran McKenna was disappointed that Ipswich could not take their chance, especially after playing with a numerical benefit for more than half of the game.
“We are really irritated by how it has become,” McKenna told TNT Sports.
“We did not defend the set well enough in the first half and then it is really bad at the start of the second half. We knew that the threat was on set pieces and the third goal is unacceptable from our point of view and from that moment we were chased.
“We have to get up and better counted. We have defended set pieces well throughout the season, but we were unable to treat them tonight. We were not strong enough from the point of view of adulthood, and they treated it better than we were up to 10 men.
“We had some good spells in the first half. We started the game really well and we can have a high level. We have had such spells in almost all games.
“It's up to us; we have to possess it. It is not a night in which we feel many positive points, we let someone get away from us. We have to learn from this. We played against a group of players who showed their adulthood and quality.”
