Manchester United’s chaotic December hit a new low Monday night as Newcastle United secured a 2-0 victory at Old Trafford—their second away win at the stadium in 40 years. The defeat caps off a brutal month for the Red Devils, who’ve now lost five of their last six Premier League games.
Early Goals Seal the Deal
Newcastle’s Alexander Isak struck first, heading home a cross from Lewis Hall in the 4th minute. Joelinton doubled the lead 15 minutes later with another header, leaving United’s defense—and fans—stunned. Isak now leads December’s Premier League scorers with eight goals this month alone.
Historic Struggles
This loss marks United’s worst league position (14th) at the end of a calendar year since 1989. The team has also conceded 18 goals across all competitions in December, their highest tally in a single month since 1964. Meanwhile, Newcastle climbed to fifth place, keeping their Champions League dreams alive.
Missed Chances & Boos
Despite late efforts from Harry Maguire and Rasmus Hojlund, United’s attack fizzled out. Fans booed the team at halftime, summing up the frustration at a club that’s now lost three straight home league games for the first time since 1979. The final whistle brought sighs of relief—and questions about what’s next.
