Manchester United Suffers Fourth Straight Loss, Manager Amorim Faces Criticism

Manchester United suffered a 4-1 defeat against Newcastle United at St James' Park, marking their fourth consecutive match without a win. Manager Ruben Amorim made five changes to prioritize an upcoming Europa League clash, including starting Altay Bayindir, who struggled in goal. Despite some promising moments early in the match, United's defense was repeatedly exposed, leading to criticism from former player Roy Keane about the team's lack of effort and physicality. Newcastle celebrated their fifth consecutive win, achieving their first league double over United since the 1930-31 season. The defeat has intensified discussions about United's need for a drastic rebuild, as they face 14 league losses this season. Amorim's strategy appears to focus on European success at the expense of their domestic league performance, further alienating the fan base.
