Manchester United vs Newcastle LIVE: Premier League result, score and reaction as Isak stars and Zirkzee booed off

Ruben Amorim was crouching, shaking his head in disbelief. Even a short time answerable for Manchester United has acquainted him with disappointment however nothing he had witnessed thus far had appeared this disastrous. As Newcastle United powered to a victory the place their remorse needs to be that it wasn’t a thrashing, Amorim’s concepts have been unravelling earlier than his eyes.

Having warned his job may very well be at risk if United carried on dropping, his group produced a primary 35 minutes so abject that it recommended perilous instances could await. In that context, an eventual 2-0 defeat was comparatively respectable. This promised to be 5 – 6, the type of scoreline that will echo by way of the ages.

It was nonetheless a fifth league defeat in a month, one thing United had not suffered since 1962. It was one other historic low for a membership who appear to specialize in plummeting to new depths. No supervisor has made such a nasty begin on the membership for 9 many years. No United group had misplaced three consecutive dwelling league video games for 45 years. This one have been crushed inside 20 minutes.

Alexander Isak talking to Sky Sports activities after the match:

“It feels nice. We haven’t gained in a very long time right here, it was an incredible efficiency and the proper solution to finish the yr,” he stated. “Our depth was actually good, we pressed excessive, made regains and counter-attacks. The problem was to have the identical depth right here as we do at dwelling – the primary half paid off.

“We’ve been a lot better recently, the problem is to play the identical means dwelling and away. We’ve carried out that the final weeks and been constant.”

Richard Jolly at full time:

“Newcastle’s gamers applaud their followers, who refrain the identify of Bruno Guimaraes. Manchester United’s do a lap of dishonour, thanking the minority of supporters who’re nonetheless right here. They kind two very totally different photos however sum up the evening of the 2 golf equipment.”

A quiet sufficient second half with Newcastle choosing management for probably the most half, and Man United totally unable to boost their stage to something past a couple of crosses.

Newcastle declare a fourth straight victory and a fourth straight clear sheet, lifting them above Bournemouth and Man Metropolis again as much as fifth – three factors off Chelsea.

As for Man United, one other stunning first-half exhibiting leaves them 14th within the desk, three straight defeats to their identify and a visit to Anfield and league-leaders Liverpool subsequent. Their followers – those who’re left – boo the full-time whistle as soon as extra and 2024 involves a dreadful finish for them.

Into stoppage time we go – to maintain you updated, Ipswich have crushed Chelsea. Which means Manchester United at the moment are right down to solely seven factors above the relegation zone. Newcastle are going fifth, again above Man Metropolis.

Three minutes added on and many Man United followers have already left.

Antony on for De Ligt. Mazraoui goes to right-sided centre-back – a 3rd mixture for the defence tonight. A extra attack-minded wing-back, nevertheless, which has in all probability been required.

United have a couple of minutes left to mount an unbelievable late comeback.

Harvey Barnes comes on for Newcastle, as does Joe Willock, with Gordon and Murphy changed.

Newcastle followers entertain themselves telling Ruben Amorim “you’re getting sacked within the morning”. Is perhaps a bit early for that however issues do have to choose up.

Fabian Schar is being booked for hauling down Hojlund and that’s a expensive one – a suspension in opposition to Spurs. Wanted to get by way of this sport with no yellow to get previous the 19-match barrier.

After tonight it’s ten yellows in 32 video games for a two-match ban.

Nothing a lot of something in any respect within the final ten minutes from Manchester United. Because it stands they’re heading not only for a 3rd defeat in a row within the Premier League, however for a 3rd in a row whereas failing to attain too.

It’ll be 5 defeats in six – the outlier being that late turnaround in opposition to Man Metropolis, of all issues.

That’s the closest United have come to scoring tonight. An Eriksen nook is met by Yoro and he rises nicely to nod in the direction of Dubravka’s far submit…however only a foot or two large.

“As tends to be the case, the cameras have panned to the Manchester United brains belief and picked out Jason Wilcox, the technical supervisor. It hasn’t been an incredible few weeks for the managers he has performed a component in appointing. The opposite was Russell Martin. Not less than the second half has indicated Amorim can reorganise a facet after the shambles at first.”

Newcastle appear to have a bit extra management of the sport once more now. Man United’s spell was about quarter-hour, possibly 20, or enchancment however not dominance, and definitely not creating something of be aware themselves.

Now Corridor fires one over, Isak makes floor down the precise once more, Joelinton probes centrally and Man United are again to chasing shadows. Isak has been totally different class tonight. 20 minutes remaining.
