Ups and downs are common in a team. although I admit, Manchester United's defeat at Newcastle headquarters was due to the poor performance of United's players. although to be honest, I did not expect this result. This also shows, that not always United will always perform brilliantly in every game. the proof, in this match Newcastle was able to overthrow The Red Devils and shift its ranking even though the two teams actually had the same points.
But yes, I see some United players playing underperform. like, Rashford, Bruno, Weghorst, and their midfield players. unfortunately in situations like this, Ten Hag does not have the option of a second line up player which is equivalent to the main starter. plus, Casemiro's absence in this match was quite influential. fatally, when the defender duo Lisandro Martinez and Varane were pulled out and replaced by other players. as a result, instead of wanting to equalize. but unfortunately, they even conceded a goal for the second time. but, yes, this is football. next, United must rise again and shift the ranking temporarily occupied by Newcastle at this time.
