Manchester United faced a crushing 4-1 defeat against Newcastle United in a match marked by a second-half collapse. The team, managed by Ruben Amorim, rotated players following a prior draw in the Europa League, but disappointing results on the pitch reflected the changes negatively. Despite a brief equalizer from Alejandro Garnacho, Newcastle dominated with goals from Harvey Barnes and Bruno Guimaraes. The absence of manager Eddie Howe didn't hinder the Magpies, while United's goalkeeper, Altay Bayindir, failed to prevent the rout, contributing to the team's struggles as they look ahead to a crucial second-leg match against Lyon.
Ruben Amorim rotated the Reds a bit after the 2-2 draw at Lyon, likely with the crucial second-leg in mind this week, but the changes brought disappointment.
The Magpies were without manager Eddie Howe but still managed to triumph over Manchester United with a dominant performance, scoring four times in the second half.
Harvey Barnes' second goal highlighted United's defensive frailties, taking full advantage of a poor play that allowed him an avenue through the heart of their defense.
Altay Bayindir, the Turkish goalkeeper, struggled in his audition for the number one spot, contributing to the team's downfall with misplaced passes.
