Manchester United Faces Historic Decline After Defeat to Newcastle

Ruben Amorim's team suffers its third consecutive home league loss, leaving the club in 14th place and just seven points above the relegation zone.

  • Manchester United's 2-0 loss to Newcastle marks their third straight Premier League defeat at Old Trafford, a first since the 1978-79 season.
  • The team has now lost five league games in December, a low not seen since 1962, and six matches in all competitions, their worst run since 1930.
  • Joshua Zirkzee was substituted after 30 minutes to jeers from fans, highlighting the frustration with player performances during a poor first half.
  • Ruben Amorim, United's manager since November, has faced mounting pressure but insists on sticking to his tactical vision despite the results.
  • Newcastle capitalized on United's defensive frailties, with Alexander Isak and Joelinton scoring early goals, securing their first league win at Old Trafford in over a decade.
