Once again, Manchester United fans logged into football only to get logged out emotionally.
In a showdown that felt more like a staged intervention than a competitive match, Newcastle didn’t just beat United they issued a public service announcement: “This is how you dismantle an entire football institution in under 90 minutes.”
It ended 4-1. It could’ve been 8-2. But Newcastle, being generous, allowed them some dignity… barely.
Garnacho’s goal meant nothing
Alejandro Garnacho tried to spark hope in the 37th minute with a goal that briefly gave Man United fans a reason to unclench their fists.
But just as quickly as hope appeared, Harvey Barnes showed up like a landlord on rent day twice (49’ and 64’), before Bruno Guimarães dropped the final nail in the coffin in the 77th minute.
United equalized. Newcastle retaliated with a vengeance.
The fans? United in suffering. divided in logic.
Post-match reactions were… let’s just say, more dramatic than a Nollywood season finale.
While one fan declared:
“NO MAN UNITED HATER WILL PASS WITHOUT INTERACTING”
… another quickly reminded them:
“Use brain! Newcastle winning means Man City’s UCL spot is in danger!”
A third fan, clearly still processing trauma and totally pissed off.
Newcastle played football. United played themselves.
Let’s be honest, Newcastle looked like a side aiming for greatness. Man United? A side that’s still buffering.
The midfield was non-existent, the defense was basically doing customer service for Newcastle’s attackers.
Even rival fans were confused — one said, “I don’t even know how we only drew against this team.” You know it’s bad when haters pity you.
Final Thoughts:
From the way things are looking, United’s season is turning into a documentary and not the good kind.
Fans are already throwing blame like darts: Amorim, Sancho, the board, even random pastors and politicians.
Maybe United don’t need a new manager… they need an exorcist.
