Jaden Philogene had given Ipswich a fourth-minute lead after a mix-up at the back. Patrick Dorgu kicked the ball past Andre Onana, who had rushed off his line, leaving the winger with the easiest of tap-ins at an empty net.

However, United staged a first-half comeback, with two goals in four minutes flipping the script. Sam Morsy's own goal restored parity before Matthijs de Ligt rifled the rebound from Alex Palmer's double save into the roof of the net.

Patrick Dorgu was then shown a red card by the referee after a VAR review for a late challenge on Omari Hutchinson in the 43rd minute, before Philogene's second, a teasing cross that snuck past Onana, pulled Ipswich level.

But it was Maguire who had the final say, with his thumping header from a corner sealing a much-needed win for Ruben Amorim's side on Wednesday as Ipswich struggled to find a way back in. 

United moved up to 14th on 33 points, but Ipswich, which is yet to win a league game in 2025, remains third-bottom and five points behind Wolverhampton Wanderers.
