St James’ Park isn’t the happiest of hunting grounds for the best of Premier League teams, so when Alejandro Garnacho equalised in the first half, drawing Manchester United level, a good result looked as though it was on the cards for Ruben Amorim’s men.
However, despite going into the break at 1-1, United’s joy was certainly short-lived.
The score come the full-time whistle read 4-1 in favour of Newcastle who had undone the Red Devils hardly at breakneck speed.
Indeed, a lot of the goals were easily avoidable. That rather tells the story of Man United’s season. While they have come up with some memorable moments in attack, individual mistakes have proven costly.
Just ask Andre Onana against Lyon in midweek. Well, there was no room for the Cameroon stopper this time around; totally excluded from the squad. It’s just a shame Altay Bayindir didn’t stake his claim either.
Man United’s mistake-ridden performance vs Newcastle
Losing to Newcastle is certainly no disgrace but losing to the Magpies in the way Amorim’s men did, certainly is.
