Newcastle Defeats Manchester United 2-0 at Old Trafford

Newcastle United achieved a significant 2-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, marking only the second time since 1972 that Newcastle has defeated United at home. This loss condemns Manchester United to their third consecutive home defeat, a situation not seen in over 60 years, leaving them in 14th place, just seven points above the relegation zone. Early goals from Alexander Isak and Joelinton solidified Newcastle's fifth consecutive win, while United's struggles under coach Ruben Amorim continue, with just two wins from his first nine league matches. United's performance was marred by poor tactics, a lack of creativity, and missed opportunities, particularly in the absence of suspended captain Bruno Fernandes. The defeat raises further concerns about Amorim's job security as scrutiny intensifies around his management. Meanwhile, Newcastle's rise in form contrasts sharply with United's decline, as they remain competitive in the league standings.
