Manchester United's disastrous start to the Premier League season continued as they were beaten 1-0 by Newcastle United at St. James' Park on Sunday. Matthew Longstaff slotted home the winner on his league debut with just less than 20 minutes remaining, condemning the Red Devils to their third league defeat of the campaign.
Positives
Throughout the first hour or so of the game, United were able to maintain their structure both in midfield and defensively. Their ideas were strong going forward, aside from the execution, and they were often able to kill the pace of the game in their favour with some balanced and methodical movement.
