Legendary former Ipswich midfielder John Wark says the Tractor Boys can "learn" and "improve and do better" after Sunday's chastening 5-2 defeat against Manchester United.

Gary O'Neil's side took the lead and were well in the game into the second half, but conceded three goals in 12 minutes to completely lose control of the match.

However, O'Neil empahsised the positives, especially after the opening day win over Sunderland.

"You've just got to learn from it and let's hope they can improve and do better in the bigger games," Wark told BBC Radio Suffolk.

"With spending, money-wise they have done enough but you don't know how good the players are going to be yet. They have spent loads of money but I just hope they all come together and it works for us."

Friday night's home game against Liverpool could see a debut handed to new striker signing Zian Flemming, who was signed for £20m from Burnley this week.

The 28-year-old scored 11 times last season in the Premier League for the Clarets, who were relegated. He has netted three in the first four games of the Championship campaign.

"He comes over as if he's got goals in him and a good attitude," Wark added.

"Hopefully he will come in and do the business."
