4 talking points as Red Devils collapse against impressive hosts


Manchester United’s season got worse and worse when the Champions League surrendered to a difficult 4: 1 defeat in Newcastle United.

Ruben Amorim has experienced a number of miserable afternoons and evenings since his appointment as head coach last November, and his trip to the northeast will have left him back with another stress-caused headache.

Newcastle was by far the better team, especially in the second half, and looked over a united team that now has to lick her wounds before the quarter-finals of the Europa League-a game that her season is now dependent on, as she is taking a miserable 14th place in the Premier League table.

How the game unfolds

Newcastle remained unchanged on Monday compared to the 3-0 win of 3-0 against Leicester City and started Jacob Murphy, Alexander Isak and Harvey Barnes in one front three when Anthony Gordon returned to the bank after an injury.

Amorim made a number of changes to his team, including in the goal when he tried to compensate for the workload of his squad before concentrating on the Europa League – the only way from United next season is to win this competition.

The Magpies had the ball in the background of United’s network in less than 45 seconds, but Joelinton’s finish from the six-yard box was switched off when Kieran Trippier had deviated away from the side.

Then Murphy fired far when Newcastle started a quick start in the absence of uncatisfied managers before Nick Pope had to be vigilant at the other to refuse Joshua Zirkzee after an excellent exchange of passports, in which Christian Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes were involved.

The deadlock was broken in the middle half when Isak proved that it was more than just a finisher, and triunter trippier’s fired low -pass to the attic for the onushing tonali, which was shot out on the volley excellently.

Altay Bayindir started his first Premier League game instead of the fallen Andre Onana and then made a super double stop to refuse Tino Livramento and Isak – parades that have proven to be decisive four minutes later, since United gave up progress.

Alejandro Garnacho was the goal scorer for the Red Devils, who put a fine outlier down the right flank, which was initiated by Diogo Dalot, who continues to blame hot and cold. The first-time finish of the Argentine lacked power, but was precise and only turned out from the understanding of Pope-only his second goal in his last 29 games for the club in all competitions.

However, this was United’s season, but the good news didn’t take long. Amorim’s side still digested her half-time cup of tea and bourbon biscuits and was cold-trapped by Livramento on the left by more fantastic games on the left and the young Englishman’s legs looked like a rabbit in the headlights.

His low cross to the rear post was again transformed by Murphy into the six-yard box, so that the arriving barnes could slide past Bayindir up close.

United then lost to injuries and used the break in the game to take a triple substitution where Mason Mount continued his comeback, but the momentum was with the home team.

Newcastle has brewed its usual loud support and expanded its advantage when Nussair Mazraouis Slip was punished by the electrifying barnes. The former Leicester Wing player did not give Bayindir a chance with his destination – after diving into the penalty area. Soon it was four – a terrible mistake by Bayindir, punished by the ice -cool Guimaraes.

Newcastle could and should have been added, while United, who was at the wrong end of a Toon League double for the first time in 93 years, was toothless despite the best efforts of Bruno Fernandes.

Andre Onana

The entire conversation before the game surrounded Ruben Amorim’s rumored decision to drop goalkeeper Andre Onana-rumors that have proven to be correct when the team leaves were confirmed.

Onana has recently held a miserable time and last week with the former United Middle Field player Nemanja Matic, a bizarre off-field spit, before he had a appearance against Lyon against Lyon in the first leg of the Europa League in Europa League. The camera was to blame for both goals with his 95th minute handling error, which made it possible for Rayan Cherki to play the game, a particularly blatant faux pas.

His general handling was all the season all the season when Onana’s wife was the victim of a violent street serration at the end of March.

Amorim’s decision to make a change was probably the right one, and the Portuguese coach was probably brought into a situation without a profit, since Misana could continue to harm the page and can cause him to take a moment to take your breath.

Bayindir, who shone for United for United in the third round of FA Cup in her penalty shootout in the third round of FA Cup, did little time to raise his claim to a regular appearance. In fact, he made a terrible mistake that led as blatant as everything that Onana did this season and the ball directly in Joelinton in the run -up to Newcastle’s fourth.

Sandro Tonali

The veneration of the Park believer of St. James is handled fairly evenly, but those who observe from the outside to Bruno Guimaraes when it is time to praise themselves.

The Brazilian is a wonderful player – you don’t have Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​which you chase, unless you are, and he is the one who passes the things in the heart of Newcastle midfield. The regular partners Joelinton and Sandro Tonali are just as impressive, the latter of whom showed his box-to-box functions in a way.

The Italian came with the call to be a stubborn, persistent defensive midfielder who was also very capable of the ball. But under Eddie Howe, he has used up a much rounded footballer and built on his existing skills to make lung burt runs in the area when the situation is available.

Such a situation was created here and Boy used Tonali his chance well.

Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes

It was a few months for Alejandro Garnacho since he was discontinued for the Manchester Derby together with Marcus Rashford in December.

Since then, the Argentinian has to prove a point, both to his manager and to the clubs of the club, which were dismayed by his lack of end product. Garnacho is very talented, there is no doubt about that, but it has not always shown the greatest maturity in the field. He often makes the wrong decision or tries to do things too quickly if an additional moment of care would probably lead to a cheaper result.

His end here, who brought United back into play, showed the latter and ended a terribly sterile run in front of the goal. It will be more necessary to prove that Garnacho has a long-term future in Old Trafford-Amorim’s decision to take it off before the hourly brand will be informed of what you have to know about his overall contribution-and if he does not enter the brand, interested parties such as Napoli or Chelsea may be more willing to benefit from the 20-year-old than you think.

Alexander Isak

Alexander Isak is persecuted by Liverpool, Arsenal and Barcelona and would probably have every other leading club in the world who chased him if a) would be interested in moving, and b) they could afford it.

The Sweden’s existence is so high because he likes to score goals. 24 in 35, which is at stake in the game on Sunday, is a fairly decent return according to everyone, and especially when it comes to a team that does not work at the top of their domestic league. (Newcastle is up there, yes, but not in a sense of Manchester City/Erling Haaland.)

Isak showed that he has additional strings to his attacking arch, which may have the transmission gossip fire after rumors over € 150 million (£ 130 million) in Newcastle’s inbox from Liverpool. His control from a Kieran trippier passport was first class and his view and exquisite execution for a praise ball over the top for Tonali was well excellent.

He was not even obliged to score here, so was Newcastle’s rule, but still had United’s defense against strings with his pace, movement and his effortless connecting game.
