Miguel Almiron, Lewis Hall, and Joe Willock found the back of the net on Wednesday night, intensifying the pressure on Red Devils manager Erik ten Hag. This result has led to Ten Hag’s team being eliminated from the Carabao Cup, and they find themselves in a disappointing eighth place in the Premier League, making it a dire start to the season.
Newcastle’s impressive victory is a form of payback for Eddie Howe’s team, who were defeated by the Red Devils in the Carabao Cup final last season. Alan Shearer, a legend of the Magpies, couldn’t contain his excitement after the match and expressed his thoughts on Twitter: “Total domination from the Toon. Magnificent from start to finish from every single player. One team playing for the badge, the other team a complete mess. TOONTOON.”
Former footballer and pundit Paul Merson shared his opinion on the situation, highlighting the need for a resolution: “This needs to get sorted, and personally I think it’s toxic. They are all over the place, and if not for a last-minute penalty, they would have drawn at home to Copenhagen. Come on, get serious. For me, Ten Hag is under serious pressure, and they have to have a meeting to figure out what to do. It appears he has lost the players, given the way they are performing and losing.”
