Getty Images SportWHAT HAPPENED?
United's misery continued in the Premier League as they suffered a humiliating 4-1 defeat at the hands of Newcastle United at St. James' Park on Sunday. Harvey Barned scored a brace, while Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes were also on target for the Magpies as they registered a thumping win at home and claimed fourth position in the league table.
AFPTHE BIGGER PICTURE
Things worsened for the Premier League giants when star striker Joshua Zirkzee limped off the pitch in the 55th minute after he was seen clutching the back of his leg. While the extent of the Dutch forward's injury is yet to be determined, manager Amorim delivered a two-word verdict on the player's condition after the match as he told reporters: "Zirkzee vs. Lyon? I think it’s over."
Getty Images SportWHAT NEXT FOR MANCHESTER UNITED?
Amorim is likely to start Rasmus Hojlund as the team's No.9 in the second leg at home against Lyon on Thursday, with Zirkzee looking to have no chance of playing.
