With six wins, four draws and eight defeats, Man United are languishing in the lower midfield, having only scored 21 goals in 18 rounds. These are numbers that sound alarming, and even a change of coach has not brought any success. After the recent 0-2 defeat at relegation candidates Wolverhampton, the mood was finally at rock bottom. Four of the last five games have been lost, with only the last-minute 2-1 win in the derby against Manchester City stopping this streak. The eight defeats in total resulted in 20 goals conceded when the Red Devils lose, they always score at least twice. They have not kept a clean sheet for five games, which is a new negative record. There have been a number of times this season where the score was kept to zero. This result happened six times, so it is difficult to understand why nothing works out so often on the other side. The only away match where Newcastle failed to score was against Everton, which is definitely worth mentioning. Of course, the team is dependent on Alexander Isak. He has been scoring consistently for the last five games, collecting seven goals and two assists |
