00:00hammer and tongs for the league title consecutive seasons in the 1990s these were the league's top two
00:07the times have changed and although the toon have been on the up of late
00:11the reds are arguably at their lowest ebb for the best part of three decades
00:17match referee is simon hooper from swindon in wiltshire
00:22newcastle united in the black and white grip full of festive cheer
00:27manchester united chock full of festive fear
00:31bruno gimmerich
00:34lewis hall and the header and the goal and it has taken precious little time
00:44for alexander isak to stamp his mark on this game
00:49and to breed yet more doubt in fragile manchester united minds
00:54wing of the pitch just watch him come in he's in there he's in midfield it then goes
00:59to gimmerich this ball out here the checking for offside he's not
01:03and right in the middle of the pitch where it's been a massive problem for manchester united over
01:08the top of maguire in between isak gets in between the two defensive absolute sitter
01:15and for two experienced defenders like maguire and martinez that is absolutely awful
01:24still looking at it bar but i'm pretty sure it's okay
01:28a picture it looks on side to me indeed it is on side
01:33alexander isak has been in the richest of goal scoring form of late
01:41and if this is confirmed it will extend a sequence
01:46it's not the rest of the premier league talking and several big clubs
01:50reaching for their checkbooks to try and make an offer to take them away from newcastle
01:54isak confirmed as having scored for a sixth premier league game in a row
02:01gordon
02:05all too easily past masraoui
02:10and joe linton
02:13hoyland ericsson
02:18it's in that muscle by bruno gimmerich and isak is on his way here
02:28and maguire is only in his wake and alexander isak
02:32actually went for the sandwich finished by the looks of it
02:35gordon
02:39and joe linton doubles newcastle's lead and things are already turning pretty sour inside old trappard
02:58and this is it this is manchester united in a nutshell ball wide no real danger lot five back
03:09joe linton runs off his midfield player goes in between center halves again
03:15martinez looking over his shoulder is he offside they know he's not just pick up
03:21mcguire looking around delit looking around do some work do some defending
03:31well played newcastle
03:39gordon isak again newcastle running rings around manchester united for the most part
03:46and lewis hall will try one
03:47it's not like having to circumnavigate the tyne bridge to get to the ball isn't it
03:53i think he's taller than you
03:54it's the only man i know taller than you
03:57it's another one that had anana backpedaling and actually colliding with the frame of his goal
04:05gordon
04:05but the flag is up and for once there is some relief for manchester united despite a sharp intake of
04:21breath well he sat is furious and he's pointing to the referee saying i wasn't offside first thought
04:27was he was but we're just about to see checks complete
04:39isak
04:42joe linton tonali
04:47and gordon and tonali inside of the post and back out again
04:52it looked like a tactical change and he's gone straight down the dressing room you stay on the
04:58bench as far as i'm concerned here's hoyland can he pull one back no first clear sight of to grab
05:07this goal though
05:20well might he hold his head
05:25masrawi and hoyland well he forced the slice
05:31from fabian share
05:32mehnu
05:39dallow
05:43and mcguire
05:45and then it's the lift
05:50one repelled by a human the other by a piece of wood
06:00oh
06:02gordon's with him hall goes alone and gordon asks why
06:07ericsson
06:09and euro's header
06:11may know
06:12may know that's rowy
06:18and ma cello and gordon got a critical touch
06:21and then hoyland and burn made the block and ericsson over the bar and the flag is up on the far side
06:27manchester united manchester united nine league defeats now
06:34and to end 2024 the 20-time league champions clumb new depths whilst newcastle
06:41stride confidently and perkily into the top five only their second win in their last 40 league visits to old
06:51trafford achieved by first half goals from isaac and from joe linton
06:56and they were streets ahead of manchester united for the most part this evening an embarrassing
07:02chasm in quality between the two teams ruben amerim has every reason
07:09to be concerned over what the future may hold because at the moment his system and the squad he inherited
07:17are not suited to one another and it's now five defeats in six in the premier league and three
07:22consecutive home defeats for manchester united for the first time rebecca in 46
07:28so
