The 0-2 defeat against Newcastle in the 29th round of the Premier League took place last night, causing internal disagreements within Man Utd.
Although rated higher, Man Utd played the underdog and had to receive a 0-2 defeat against Newcastle in the match in the 29th round of the Premier League taking place at St James’ Park. Two goals of “The Magpies” in this match came from Joe Willock (65′) and Callum Wilson (88′).
This defeat made Man Utd drop to 4th place in the Premier League table with 50 points after 27 matches like Newcastle but behind because of the goal difference.
Thus, in the last 3 matches in the Premier League, Man Utd did not know the smell of victory (draw 1, lost 2 matches) and did not score any goals but had to receive 9 goals.
According to statistics from Opta, in the Premier League era, Man Utd has only 7 times failed to score in 3 consecutive matches. This is the first time since February 2022, they “failed” 3 matches.
Man Utd has lost 4 of 8 Premier League matches without Casemiro in the squad. This number is more than 3 out of 19 matches when the Brazilian player appeared.
In the last 83 minutes, coach Erik ten Hag decided to w/i/t/h/d/r/a/w center-back Lisandro Martinez from the field to make room for winger Facundo Pellistri in the hope of helping Man Utd improve their attack.
Just leaving the field, Lisandro Martinez expressed anger at coach Ten Hag. Then, the Argentinian star angrily banged his chair before sitting down on the chair.
When referee Stuart Attwell’s final whistle sounded, the camera lens detected the scene of right-back Diogo Dalot exchanging words with winger Antony.
Discovering this situation, captain Bruno Fernandes had to run to intervene. At the same time, the Portuguese midfielder dragged his teammates around St James’ Park to applaud the Man Utd fans present there.
Luke Shaw lifts the lid on players’ dressing room talks after Manchester United’s defeat
Luke Shaw has spoken out about how Manchester United’s players are coping with the loss against Newcastle.
Luke Shaw was a member of Manchester United’s 2-0 defeat at Saint James’ Park.
That was again another away defeat for the Red Devils, who have established a dangerous habit of losing on the road this season.
Shaw was depressed after the game and said that Manchester United players conducted their inquisition without the assistance of the staff.
Luke Shaw on the players’ clash
According to club media, Luke Shaw, the players must take the initiative to turn the situation around.
“The players had a conversation in the changing room after with no staff there since ultimately it’s down to us players on the field,” he stated.
“That wasn’t good enough, and we had to talk about it.” We must speak out in front of one another.”
Shaw went on to say that the squad must work together to get to the conclusion of the season and finish well.
“We’re a team, and when we go out on the field, we all need to fight for each other, we all need to be there for one other – I believe that hasn’t always been the case this season.”
“It’s critical that we identify and address the issues as soon as possible so that we can have a successful season.”
This was Manchester United’s sixth Premier League loss of the season, and the team has a goal differential of just ‘plus four’.
A top-four finish is still within our reach, but it may become a grind if United does not regain form immediately.
Casemiro is still banned for the next two games, and United must find a way to win both without him, beginning with the encounter against Brentford at home this coming Wednesday.
