EPL: Manchester United's Dismal Home Run Continues With 0-2 Loss To Newcastle

Newcastle defeated Manchester United 2-0 at Old Trafford, handing the Red Devils their third consecutive home league loss, a streak not seen since 1979. Alexander Isak's early header and Joelinton's strike sealed Newcastle's commanding victory. Now, Man United have shifted to 14th place, just seven points above the relegation zone. Ruben Amorim has now overseen five losses in eight league games since taking charge in November.
