Manchester United manager Michael Carrick described himself as "really pleased" with his squad after Bruno Fernandes produced a stunning hat-trick to inspire a remarkable 5-2 comeback victory over Ipswich Town.

The result marked a dramatic turnaround for United, who had suffered a disappointing opening-day defeat the previous weekend. Fernandes' three-goal masterclass proved the catalyst as the team responded emphatically to their early-season setback.

The Portuguese captain carried United through a high-scoring encounter, with the final scoreline standing as a testament to the team's resilience and attacking firepower. Carrick's side ultimately ran out convincing winners against Ipswich Town in what will be remembered as one of the Premier League's more entertaining results of the early campaign.

Carrick, who took charge of the club following the departure of his predecessor, appeared buoyed by the character his players showed in putting such a dominant performance together after their opening stumble.
