Newcastle United inflicted further misery on Manchester United, claiming a 2-0 victory at Old Trafford, which marked a fourth consecutive loss for Ruben Amorim’s side. The defeat leaves United in deep crisis, with their poor form showing no signs of improvement.
Alexander Isak and Joelinton gave the visitors an early two-goal lead, both scoring headers that left the home team in disarray. The early goals rattled United, prompting Amorim to substitute Joshua Zirkzee before halftime, a decision met with jeers from frustrated supporters.
It could have been worse for United, as Isak had a goal disallowed for offside, and Sandro Tonali hit the post. Manchester United showed a faint response in the second half, with Harry Maguire heading against the woodwork, but Newcastle remained in control throughout the match.
The defeat means Manchester United have now lost five of their last six Premier League games, including four consecutive defeats in all competitions. The team’s attacking woes are evident, as they have failed to score in their last three matches. United remain in 14th place in the league, just seven points clear of the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, Newcastle climb to 5th in the standings, continuing their strong form under manager Eddie Howe.
