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.
