The team had to be bussed to Newcastle in the North East and the game was delayed, in this case

It's unlikely to be in good shape.
Newcastle has been playing well of late and only last week won 4-1 against

Manchester United Football Club
Their own situation was just average as they lined up in a 4231 with Maguire, LukeShaw, Dalot, Wan-Bisaka at the back, McTominay, Mainoo at the back, B Faye at attacking midfielder, Rashford, Garnacho on the wings, Martial up front

After the start of the game.
Manchester United Football Club
Nueceso kept the same style of play, quickly releasing the ball to the two wings of the attackers after a full-scale scramble in the midfield, and then once pushed to the front of the field, they desperately passed the ball to Isak, and as soon as they saw the space to shoot, they immediately started to shoot, and in the first 20 minutes, Isak, and Almirón had a shot on goal from a very close distance, and it was just a little bit short of a breakthrough goal.
This high-speed attack clearly makes
Manchester United Football Club
I can't stand it. I can't stand this game.
Manchester United Football Club
With only one true center back in Maguire, the lack of another center back to cover the space in front of the box against a big and speedy Newcastle attacker
Manchester United Football Club
They keep exposing the belly of the box for the opposition to penetrate, and of the two backs McTominay is not a very good defender, and Mainoo, although he has played well before, is still young after all.
Manchester United Football Club
At this point there was a lot of space created from the center back area to the back area for the Newcastle attacking group to enter into.
Newcastle pressed very hard up front in the first half.
Manchester United Football Club
kept being pressed, and Joelinton in particular was very active with Guimarães, who not only pressed forward but also restricted the
Manchester United Football Club
Trying to pass on the counter, even B fee and Rashford had to be forced to drop back, and it was almost impossible to pass a straight pass on the counter, it had to go to Garnacho on the left, which left Newcastle's defenders one on one at the back to keep Garnacho at bay.
Manchester United Football Club
The counter-attack was also not fast enough, and Garnacho alone couldn't get the ball out when he got upfield
Trippier's free kick at 38 hit the crossbar and bounced out, the ball was so fast and accurate that Onana couldn't react and it was Newcastle's best chance of the first half!
The first half ended with Newcastle pressing, but the second half began with Newcastle going even further, with Guimarães pushing forward to the right, and Trippier and Almirón rushing up to meet him and then frantically passing to the center.
Manchester United Football Club
It was an instant stupefaction, they seemed to have no answer to Newcastle's pressure after the half-time break, and as a result
Manchester United Football Club
With the left side of the defense in disarray, Newcastle's side was able to keep creating crosses
At 55:00, Onana kicked the ball wide and Newcastle came up the field and kicked the ball forward, Isak withdrew and flicked the ball to Guimarães, who then sent the ball to the right flank, where Trippier came up to receive the ball and passed it directly to the center of the field, where Newcastle had two points and scored a goal, which was kicked by Gordon at the far end of the field.
The offense was very fluid, with several players knowing exactly where their teammates were, and the ball hardly ever stopped.
Manchester United Football Club
This side has been messed up before, the back line is not unified, and when Guimarães got the ball, he was in front of Mainoo, but Mainoo was a step slow to step forward, in fact, he is difficult to limit the opponent against the taller and stronger Guimarães, Luke Shaw wanted to rush forward to help Mainoo to cut off the ball, but as soon as he stepped forward, it was empty, but gave Trippier a good space to cross. Luke Shaw tried to break up the ball for Mainoo, but as soon as he stepped up, he was wide open, giving Trippier a good space to cross into. Newcastle's tactic of deliberately adding more players to the right side of the field to create an advantage and create a cross was used in the previous game.
Manchester United Football Club
This game still suffers from this offense
