'Relegation form' - Man Utd sent dire warning as Ruben Amorim told he 'picked the wrong team' in dismal defeat to Newcastle

Premier League

Newcastle

Wolverhampton

Manchester United

Southampton

<p>The Red Devils suffered their third consecutive Premier League defeat and fifth loss in their last six outings across all competitions on Monday as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-newcastle-joshua-zirkzee-casemiro-lisandro-martinez/blt1c351d29dba2bab4" target="_blank">Newcastle United beat them 2-0</a> at Old Trafford, thanks to Alexander Isak and Joelinton's first-half strikes. With the loss, United dropped to 14th in the league table after their first 19 matches.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Ex-Liverpool star and pundit <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/relegation-a-possibility-ruben-amorim-man-utd-defeat-newcastle-club-needs-shock/blt55b30cbbfbbab8d7" target="_blank">Carragher issued a warning to the Red Devils</a> after yet another disappointing display as he claimed that Amorim made a mistake by fielding two ageing central midfielders, Casemiro and Christian Eriksen, in the starting lineup against the Magpies.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking on Sky Sports, the former England and Liverpool defender said: "The manager picked the wrong team. A lot of this is on the manager tonight. But right now it's not just about the manager, Manchester United have lost five out of the last six. That's relegation form. We have been speaking about Eriksen and Casemiro on this show 18 months ago.</p><p>"These players can't run. We know that. That is on the manager putting these two players in that position and in that system. It is a major flaw. These two players can't cover it. I've got no criticism at all with Eriksen or Casemiro. That is the manager's fault. There is no way that plan could have worked in any way shape or form."</p>

WHAT JAMIE CARRAGHER SAID

<p>After a frustrating end to 2024, Amorim will hope that his side kick off the New Year with a win as they next take on rivals Liverpool on Sunday in a huge Premier League clash at Anfield.</p>
