Newcastle United secured a comfortable 2-0 win against Manchester United at Old Trafford, extending the Red Devils' losing streak to four consecutive games. Goals from Alexander Isak and Joelinton in the first 19 minutes proved decisive as Newcastle moved into fifth place. The defeat further intensifies the scrutiny on Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim, who faces mounting pressure to improve results after a disappointing start to his tenure.
MANCHESTER UNITED ended a 2024 to forget with a fourth consecutive defeat as Newcastle cruised to a 2-0 win at Old Trafford to intensify the scrutiny on Red Devils’ boss Ruben Amorim .
Alexander Isak and Joelinton struck inside the first 19 minutes as a fifth consecutive win lifted the Magpies into fifth. United badly missed the presence of suspended captain Bruno Fernandes as the Newcastle midfield three of Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes and Joelinton played around the ageing duo of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen with ease.
Amorim responded by replacing Joshua Zirkzee with Kobbie Mainoo after just 33 minutes — a move greeted with cheers by the frustrated Old Trafford crowd.
