The replacement of Andre Onana for Newcastle, Altay Bayindir, was unable to change the wealth of Manchester United on its Premier League debut. United slid down to 14. Position in the league table after losing 1-4 on Sunday against Newcastle United.
Coach Newcastle Eddie Howe was missing because of illness, but that didn’t affect the team’s pace at all, because in the amazing second half they scored the four last Bayindir. Newcastle took the lead in the 24th minute with the volley of Sandro Tonali.
Manchester United reacted well and finished the excellent goal for the attack ended with a background attacker Alejandro Garnacho in the 37th minute. After that, however, it was simply one -sided operation, because the hosts scored three goals in the second half to give the heavy defeat of Ruben Amorima the team.
Harvey Barnes scored twice for the host, for the 49th and 64 minutes, before Bayindir’s mistake Bruno Guimares at the end of the fourth to send Newcastle over Manchester City.
Coach Manchester United Ruben Amorim admitted that he understood the criticism focused on him and his team after the next defeat of the Premier League – this time on Sunday in the hands of Newcastle United – but said that loss of matches hurts much more than any external judgment.
The loss described the 14th league defeat of the United United season, which was equal to the number of games they lost throughout the campaign of 2023-2024. Also complicated matters for the club, because United fans hoped that Bayindir was hiding onan’s mistakes from the previous game.
Onan was under his disaster against Lyon in the European League. Onana made many mistakes since the replacement of David de Gea in the United States and was criticized from fans and experts.
While United showed a promise in James’s Park in the St Jes Park, Harvey Barnes’s strut – coating from some poor defense – ensured that the Amorim side remained stuck in 14th place and there were only six games left.
“I understand criticism, but I don’t care,” Amorim said. “Nothing feels worse than losing matches. People can say what they want. I don’t want to defend themselves – just look at our position on the table. It says everything.”
“When we admitted the second goal at the beginning of the second half, our heads dropped. We have to be better at such times – we have to control the game better.”
“We have to improve a lot and our position reflects as we did this season.”
With United now on a good journey for its lowest points in the Premier League season, Amorim made five changes in his XI starting, probably with regard to Thursday’s decisive quarterfinals of the second Europa League final against Olympique Lyonnais.
One of these changes has changed: Andre Onana’s first selection goalkeeper was omitted from the team, giving Turkish international Altay Bayindir his debut Premier League. Unfortunately for Bayindir it was a rough trip – his fault Nadal Newcastle their fourth goal.
“Even if we played another XI, we cannot say that the result would change,” Amorim added. “But we had to make hard decisions – we played three days ago.”
“We are analyzing this match, but now we have to focus on the next. We can’t change what has happened – we have to play better and win on Thursday. This match is huge for us.”
