Amorim Devastated After Man United Thrashed
Another Humiliation for the Red Devils
Another embarrassing night in the Premier League, falling 4-1 to Newcastle United at St. James’ Park
Newcastle looked sharp and motivated from the start.
Sandro Tonali opened the scoring in the 24th minute, punishing United’s poor defending.
Although Alejandro Garnacho equalised in the 37th minute with a well-placed shot, the joy didn’t last long.
In the second half, Harvey Barnes took full control.
He scored twice in 15 minutes (49’ and 64’), leaving United’s defence in chaos.
Bruno Guimarães sealed the win in the 77th minute with a composed finish, rounding off another nightmare for the Red Devils.
Ruben Amorim: “I Really Don’t Know What’s Going Wrong”
After the match, United manager Ruben Amorim looked emotionally crushed. The 40-year-old admitted he was struggling to understand the team’s collapse.
“We made far too many mistakes,” Amorim said.
“They were stronger on second balls. Newcastle were the better team in every aspect. It’s difficult to compete when we play like this.”
When asked what exactly is going wrong at United, his answer was honest but worrying: “It’s hard to say. I honestly don’t know what the problem is anymore. Losing like this hurts a lot. You feel powerless.”
Amorim refused to blame individual players, but he acknowledged that the team’s position in the table says it all. United have slipped to 14th place, far from the European spots and miles away from expectations.

Focus Shifts to Lyon Clash in Europa League
United don’t have much time to recover. They face Lyon on Thursday in a crucial Europa League tie, and Amorim wants the team to bounce back quickly.
“We must move on and prepare for Thursday,” he said. “We can’t use excuses. We have to be better, mentally and tactically.”
The Portuguese coach also responded to critics: “I understand the criticism, but I don’t care. People can talk, but no one feels this more than we do. Losing matches is the hardest part of this job.”
Trouble Mounting at Old Trafford
With morale low and results declining, Ruben Amorim now finds himself under heavy pressure.
His tactics, team selections, and communication are being questioned by fans and pundits alike.
Unless something changes soon, United could be heading towards one of their worst-ever league finishes.
The next few matches will be crucial—not just for the club, but for Amorim’s future in charge.
