At St. James’ Park on Sunday, Newcastle handily trounced Manchester United in the Premier League.
Bruno Fernandes was observed instructing his Manchester United colleagues to applaud the visiting Reds fans following the defeat at Newcastle.
Erik ten Hag’s group lost 2-0 on Sunday at St. James’ Park, propelling the Magpies into third place in the Premier League standings. Both the home team’s midfielder Joe Willock and substitute Callum Wilson scored goals in the second half.
After losses to Liverpool 7-0, Southampton 0-0, and Newcastle 2-0, the Reds have now gone three games without a win. That was disappointing for United because, if Tottenham defeats Everton on Monday night, United might not place in the top four.
Lisandro Martinez was visibly furious after being substituted mid-game, and after the game, Fernandes yelled at a number of his teammates. As they limped towards the tunnel, the Portuguese great told the Reds players to go recognize the away end.
According to MEN Sport, Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, and Martinez were instructed to applaud the United fans by Fernandes and assistant coach Steve McClaren.
Moreover, Diogo Dalot and Antony were seen bickering on the Sky Sports cameras. Antony was eventually substituted by Jadon Sancho in the 62nd minute. But what the two were talking about particularly is still a ᴍʏsᴛᴇʀʏ.
On Wednesday night, Brentford will come to Old Trafford, giving United the chance to get over their humiliating setback.
Manchester United’s Diogo Dalot makes worrying admission about teammates after Newcastle defeat
Diogo Dalot acknowledged Newcastle “it more” than Manchester United following the Reds’ defeat on Sunday.
United struggled to ʙᴇᴀᴛ Fulham before the break, therefore it was believed that the two-week break would allow the team to refocus. Newcastle, though, performed considerably better right away and generated lots of opportunities.
The Magpies were wasteful in the first half, as David de Gea made several crucial saves to keep the score level. But, Joe Willock’s close-range header put the game beyond reach in the 65th minute.
The hosts were able to win with just a few minutes remaining due to a goal from Callum Wilson. Erik ten Hag made multiple substitutions in an effort to get his team back into the game.
Dalot, who again battled Allan Saint-Maximin throughout the game, said something alarming in his postgame analysis of the defeat: “Newcastle’s players were more resolute, especially in duels.”
We were disappointed to come here and not be able to carry out our plans, Dalot told MUTV. Even after that, we attempted to play, but we might have been more patient. We tried to find spaces and knew they would press hard.
“Especially in the last third, we could have been a little bit more patient with the ball to find the spaces, to create more chances. We have to show desire, ʙᴇᴀᴛ them in desire and ʙᴇᴀᴛ them in every challenge we have.
“I think they ᴡᴀɴᴛᴇᴅ that a little bit more than us today and that can not happen. If we want to ꜰɪɢʜᴛ for more, want to compete for the Premier League, we have to be more consistent, come here and dominate the game.
“We knew they were going to be intense and press high, but we have to ʙᴇᴀᴛ it and be more consistent.”
