According to reports, Manchester United were thrashed 4-1 by Newcastle at St James’ Park. United conceded the first goal from Sandro Tonali but Alejandro Garnacho equalized, leaving the first half level. In the second half, after Harvey Barnes’ goal, two mistakes from United allowed Barnes and Bruno Guimarães to score two more, sealing a 4-1 victory for Newcastle.

Manchester United started the game strongly, organizing numerous attacks in the early minutes. In the 12th minute, a brilliant team move and exquisite passes from United reached Mason Mount, who fired a powerful shot towards the top corner, but Nick Pope made a fantastic save to push it out for a corner.

However, twelve minutes later, Alexander Isak stunned United with a stunning pass to Tonali, who slotted home to give Newcastle the lead.

A few minutes later, a mistake by Altay Bayındır, who was standing in for André Onana, nearly led to Newcastle’s second goal. He poorly cleared the initial shot but quickly reacted to save Isak’s rebound.

In the 37th minute, Alejandro Garnacho revived United’s hopes with a technical move. His dribble and finish ensured the first half ended 1-1.

Just four minutes into the second half, a rapid Newcastle attack dismantled United’s defense. Two substitutions from Newcastle allowed Barnes to score into an empty net, putting Newcastle ahead again.

United’s misery continued. A fatal mistake from Lisandro Martínez allowed Barnes to score his second, doubling Newcastle’s lead. United’s hopes of a comeback faded, and frustration was evident in the players’ and Amorim’s eyes.

Less than ten minutes later, United’s series of mistakes was complete. This time, Bayındır made a horrific error, gifting the ball to Newcastle, allowing Bruno Guimarães to score.

The match ended 4-1 in Newcastle’s favor. Manchester United remained in 14th place with 38 points, while Newcastle moved ahead of Manchester City into fourth, strengthening their Champions League hopes.
