Trafford Newcastle United recorded a 2-0 Premier League victory against Manchester United at Old Trafford, making it their only second league victory against the Red Devils since 1972.
Newcastle earned the victory through early goals by Alexander Isak and Joelinton, putting Newcastle in fifth place in the league after winning four straight Premier League games.
Isak has been very instrumental to the success of his team, Newcastle, netting a total of 12 goals this season, which includes eight in their last SEC Premier League games. While Newcastle United continues to struggle to finish in the top four, Manchester United’s challenges continue.
Manchester United has been defeated in a straight home league match for the first time since 1979 and lost five league games in a calendar month, a record last witnessed under manager Sir Matt Busby in 1962.
A tactical decision made by New Red Devil’s manager Ruben Amorim backfired after replacing Joshua Zirkzee with Kobbie Mainoo after just 33 minutes, agreeing to a midfield challenge.
The coach has not used England’s forward Marcus Rashford despite the team’s crisis.The team will be playing against league leaders Liverpool in their next match, which may further compound their woes after sitting in the 14th position in the league, seven points above the relegation area.
Manchester United will have to do more to finish the season in good standing.
