Historically bad start for Red Devils as they lose at home by three goals for second game in a row
and, maybe soon, a real problem for Erik Ten Hag. A problem of the job security-nature because after declaring himself confident that he and his players could revive their season following Sunday’s 3-0 humiliation here by Manchester City continuing their Carabao Cup defence was a prerequisite.
So an XI featuring only three recent first-choices – the erratic André Onana, plus Casemiro and Diogo Dalot – had to perform which meant, simply, win. Each time the home team went forward an errant touch from Mason Mount or Alejandro Garnacho stymied them. And, from such play, they were sucker punched.
“You’re getting sacked in the morning” Ten Hag was jubilantly informed by Newcastle’s crowd whose mood soon skyrocketed further. This was as embarrassing as the first, for United, because Almirón made supreme mugs of Casemiro and Dalot by clipping possession between them to Willock. The latter crossed, from the left, the ball came to Lewis Hall and his volley arrowed in.
A razor-sharp move that featured Antony and Wan-Bissaka and ended with the latter’s ball in was the best yet from United. Could they, then, apply any pressure? The answer, for a while, was a resounding yes.
