Manchester United have fallen to fourth place in the Premier League after sustaining a 2-0 defeat at St. James’ Park.
The Red Devils offered almost no threat on Tyneside this afternoon when taking on fellow top-four competitors Newcastle United.
Both sides entered the interval at a stalemate, though the Magpies had looked significantly more threatening in the first half and picked up exactly where they left off in the second.
Joe Willock headed home to open the scoring in the 65th minute, before Callum Wilson doubled Newcastle’s tally in the 88th and secured all three points in the home side’s favour.
Reds’ dip in form a concern
United have now failed to find the back of the net in their last three league matches, and have shown that work still needs to be done if they want to be playing Champions League football next season.
Next up is another difficult clash on Wednesday, April 5 against seventh-placed Brentford at Old Trafford.
ETH is currently on course for 69 pts – that is LVG level – and nowhere near good enough with the squad he has.
Fans should be questioning his logic of trying to win everything – it looks like the squad is exhausted and its only april.
Considering liverpool and chelseas dip this season, it is absolutely imperative united secure CL qualification – if they don’t it will have serious consequences – it would be completely unacceptable to spend over 200m and not guarantee CL football considering the standard of rivals this season.
Can’t believe he isn’t getting more stick actually.
