Manchester United vs. Newcastle result: Ronaldo and sloppy Red Devils held by feisty Magpies

Manchester United vs. Newcastle result: Ronaldo and sloppy Red Devils held by feisty Magpies

 It must feel like ages since Manchester United fans last watched their team play a match, but they didn't see the performance they were probably hoping for in a 1-1 draw against second-from-bottom Newcastle United.


The Red Devils were finally back on the pitch after a pair of COVID-19 postponements, the first league match for the club since December 11, and the rust showed with Newcastle taking advantage through an early Allan Saint-Maximin goal. An Edinson Cavani strike with 20 minutes remaining was enough to secure the draw as Ralf Rangnick's men take the point and go back to the drawing board.

The Magpies were the more dangerous side for much of the match, and will feel incredibly unlucky not to get more from the match. Fans surely would have taken a draw before the match started, but after the 90 minutes during which Newcastle dominated for long stretches, it felt like two points lost. The draw also came at a very high price, as Saint-Maximin and lead striker Callum Wilson both exited with injuries that looked troublesome.

The Magpies, thanks to the brilliance of Saint-Maximin, enjoyed a 1-0 halftime advantage over a Manchester United side void of creativity and shape and at times even appearing petulant. Both in the attack and defending the counter, Man United look thoroughly confused and lacking cohesion. 


Rangnick presided over a pair of 1-0 victories in his first two Premier League matches, but suddenly all momentum from that winning start has been halted with plenty to correct moving forward.

Final: Newcastle 1, Manchester United 1
FULL TIME: That's it, the points are shared. A delightfully exciting game for neutrals, and an excrutiatingly sloppy one for supporters of both sides. Newcastle will have taken the point before the match, but on the final whistle, the Magpies will feel absurdly unlucky not only to come away with just a draw, but also to have lost both Callum Wilson and Allan Saint-Maximin to injury. It's a very costly point for the Magpies, but the performance overall will be encouraging. For Manchester United...my oh my. David de Gea's late goalkeeping heroics were enough to avoid further embarrassment, but the team looked abolutely lost for most of the match. Rangnick with far more questions than answers after these 90 minutes.

Premier League: Anthony Martial expresses desire to leave Manchester United to Ralf Rangnick

Image
 Manchester: Anthony Martial has told Manchester United he wants to leave, manager Ralf Rangnick said. The France forward has dropped down the pecking order at Old Trafford, making just two Premier League starts this season and only four in all competitions. Rangnick said he “spoke at length” with the 26-year-old Martial last week. “He explained to me he’s been at Manchester United now for the last seven years and he feels it’s the right time for a change, to go somewhere else," Rangnick said Sunday. “I think, in a way, this is understandable. I could follow his thoughts but on the other hand, it’s also important to see the situation of the club." Martial became the world’s most expensive teenage player when United signed him from Monaco in September 2015 for a fee of £36 million (then $55.1 million) that could potentially rise to £58 million. Martial made a memorable debut, coming off the bench to score a superb solo goal against Liverpool, and has gone on to score 79 goals ...

Leicester City v Liverpool: The Big Match Preview

Image
 Match preview ahead of Leicester City v Liverpool in the Premier League at The King Power Stadium, with more memories to be made…   I FOUND myself in a moment of reflective awe last week. Moments after Liverpool had secured their place in the League Cup semi final, I sat and stared at the pictures of the players celebrating with a smile beaming across my face. Just when you thought this team, this squad, couldn’t find other ways to surprise you, produce other mad moments to write themselves into Liverpool Football Club folklore. Takumi Minamino, Caoimhin Kelleher, Diogo Jota, Leicester City dispatched just like that. You might have felt before the game that this one wouldn’t matter. Well, a look at the faces of the players after full time confirmed it absolutely did. It always matters to these players and this manager. Because they live and love to entertain us, and they live and love to do it for one another. Jurgen Klopp’s now famous post-match interview was filled with emo...
