Newcastle Defeats Manchester United 2-0 at Old Trafford

Manchester United suffered a damaging 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United at Old Trafford, marking their third consecutive league loss for the first time since 1979. Jamie Carragher criticized defender Lisandro Martinez for his poor performance, particularly highlighting his failure to mark Joelinton on the second goal. Despite a tactical change by manager Ruben Amorim, which involved bringing on Kobbie Mainoo, the team's struggles continued, leaving them in 14th place in the league. This defeat represents the club's worst start in nearly a century, with five league losses in a month. Meanwhile, Newcastle secured their fourth consecutive league victory, with Alexander Isak and Joelinton scoring early to solidify their Champions League ambitions. The criticism of Amorim's tactics has intensified, as many believe his defensive choices are hindering the team's attacking potential.
