Newcastle Stuns Manchester United with 2-0 Victory at Old Trafford
Newcastle United secured a dominant 2-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, marking only their second win there since 1972 and condemning the Red Devils to their third consecutive home loss, a first in 45 years. This defeat also highlighted Manchester United’s poor form, as it was their fifth loss in the league in December, a feat not seen since the era of Sir Matt Busby in 1962. Alexander Isak opened the scoring early, followed by Joelinton’s goal, giving Eddie Howe’s side a well-deserved win that lifted them to fifth place in the Premier League. Isak’s impressive form continued, taking his tally to 12 goals, with six in his last six games.
On the other hand, Manchester United’s performance was lackluster, and manager Ruben Amorim’s tactical decisions were questioned. Amorim was forced to make a substitution in the first half, replacing Joshua Zirkzee with Kobbie Mainoo, after his midfield pairing of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen failed to make an impact. Despite trailing 2-0 and struggling to find their rhythm, Amorim did not bring on Marcus Rashford, even as the team suffered a fourth consecutive loss and failed to score for the third match in a row."Newcastle Stuns Manchester United with 2-0 Victory at Old Trafford"
