t was a miserable performance.

Manchester United lost 0-1 to Newcastle United in the 14th round of the 2023-24 Premier League (PL) season held at St. James Park in Newcastle, England at 5 a.m. on the 3rd (Korean time). As a result, Manchester United ranked 7th in the league with 8 wins, 6 losses (24 points), and Newcastle ranked 5th in the league with 8 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses (26 points), surpassing Tottenham Hotspur (26 points).

Clash between the two injured teams

The two teams, which took 3rd and 4th place in the league last season, respectively, are struggling somewhat this season. First, Manchester United has not been able to show 100% performance since the beginning of the season due to a series of injured players. Manchester United's key players, including Lisandro Martinez, Mason Mount, Luke Shaw, and Christian Eriksen, continued to leave due to injury.

In away games against strong teams, we could hardly use our strength. Manchester United has lost to Tottenham, Arsenal, Brighton, Crystal Palace, Manchester City, and most of the top 10 teams this season. Among the six losses, the away loss was the fourth.

Manchester United has not been able to win two games in a row. Last November, they achieved 3 consecutive wins in the league and kept clean sheets in 3 consecutive games, raising the mood. However, in the 5th match of Group A of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) against Galatasaray held on the 30th of last month, they drew 3-3 and remained in 4th place in the group.

I collapsed due to a mistake. Manchester United took the win by scoring two goals early in the first half. Alejandro Garnacho scored the first goal in the 11th minute of the first half, and Bruno Fernandez's fantastic mid-range shot in the 18th minute of the first half gave the team a 2-0 lead.

However, two errors by goalkeeper Andre Onana ended the game 3-3. In particular, the second goal given up to Hakim Ziyech was painful. In the end, Manchester United added one point and stayed in fourth place in the group. We are now in a situation where we desperately need to win the upcoming 6th game against Bayern Munich and hope for a draw in the clash between Copenhagen and Galatasaray.
