Rúben Amorim expressed his disappointment following Manchester United’s 4-1 loss to Newcastle at St. James’ Park. The manager acknowledged the team’s shortcomings, stating, “We made mistakes, and they were better.” The defeat marked another challenging moment in a season filled with struggles for the Red Devils.
Amorim highlighted the errors that contributed to the loss, emphasizing the importance of improving consistency and focus. Despite Alejandro Garnacho’s equalizer in the first half, United failed to maintain their momentum, allowing Newcastle to dominate the second half with goals from Harvey Barnes, Bruno Guimarães, and Sandro Tonali.
