jpnn.com – MANCHESTER – Manchester United’s number of defeats is getting bigger after being beaten by Newcastle United in the 19th week of the English Premier League.
In the home match at Old Trafford, Tuesday (31/12) early morning WIB, the Red Devils – MU’s nickname, fell 0-2.
“This is really difficult. The worst moment in the club’s history and we have to accept it. Losing in front of our own supporters,” said MU coach Ruben Amorim on the Premier League website.
Newcastle took just four minutes to penetrate Man Utd’s leaky defence, but it was no surprise to see Alexander Isak score the goal.

The Swedish Newcastle bomber is on fire, scoring for the sixth consecutive appearance in the Premier League and it was the eighth goal he scored in December 2024.
According to Opta Analyst, the opening goal means the seventh time Man Utd have conceded in the first five minutes of a Premier League match at Old Trafford since the start of 2023 – that’s only happened seven times between 2013 & 2022.
Just 15 minutes later, Joelinton made it 2-0 to Newcastle, meeting Anthony Gordon’s beautiful cross with a header past goalkeeper Andre Onana.
