After the final whistle, the camera discovered Antony and Diogo Dalot were talking back and forth right on the field.
Dalot had a bad day when he was constantly overtaken by Allan Saint-Maximin. Meanwhile, Antony also performed poorly and was substituted early when the match was not over.
The loss made many MU players disappointed and dropped into the tunnel. Captain Bruno Fernandes had to exhort his teammates to return to the field to thank the fans who traveled to St James’ Park.
“Disappointed is the word to describe how we feel at the moment. We know Newcastle will play close so we try to find space. However, Man United is impatient,” Dalot said after the defeat.
“In the last 30 minutes of the game, we should have calmed down to find opportunities. We did not show the desire to win,” added the Portuguese defender.
The convincing 2-0 victory at home helped Newcastle take the third place of MU itself. The two teams have the same 50 points, but “Chicken” is ahead thanks to a better difference (+22 vs +4).
