Manchester United slammed again after getting a 1-0 crucial defeat against Newcastle

Manchester United got a crucial 1-0 defeat against Newcastle United in St. James’ Park on the fourteenth day of the 2023/2024 Premier League after completing another exhibition of lack of effectiveness against a tough rival, who dominated the Red Devils and needed just a goal by Anthony Gordon to defeat the Ten Hag’s team.

The locals were more effective in the game, showing more ideas, quality and determination than the Red Devils. The Magpies were stopped by a good performance of Andre Onana, who saved the first occasion for the locals with a great save to Almiron, who was crucial in the last metters for the North England team.

A bad control by Luke Shaw initiated an attack by the Magpies, who opened the scoring at the 55th minute of the game by Anthony Gordon. The visitors proved everything to stop the rival attempts, and they could be seen desperate to defend the goal kept by Andre Onana during the second half.

Ten Hag gave minutes to Rasmus Hojlund

Ten Hag gave entry to Rasmus Hojlund and Amrabat in the last minutes of the game, but the Danish striker couldn’t give effectiveness to the visitors, who ended up losing a crucial game to join the top five of the Premier League, which now was taken by Newcastle, a team currently growing in their ambitions in the league as they could keep on fighting for the Champions League positions in the tournament.
