Post match review: United 0 - 2 Newcastle
Things can only get better Author - Liam C Manchester United suffered a 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United at Old Trafford in the final match of the calendar year. The visitors took an early lead just four minutes in, with Alexander Isak heading home, and they maintained their momentum, doubling the advantage through Joelinton after 20 minutes. Chances for United were hard to come by in a challenging first half. A disallowed second goal for Isak due to offside and Sandro Tonali striking the post from close range hinted that the damage could have been worse on another evening. Ruben Amorim's side showed more spark in the second half, with Harry Maguire hitting the woodwork on the hour mark, but United couldn’t find a way past Newcastle’s solid defence.
