Manchester United fans immediately reacted to the Premier League display of Bryan Mbeumo after the 2-1 defeat against Newcastle at St James’ Park on Wednesday evening.
Michael Carrick faced another major test in his Manchester United interim managerial reign amid the Red Devils’ top-four Premier League challenge.
Ahead of their Premier League visit to St James’ Park, Michael Carrick chalked up his sixth win from seven matches in charge after Man Utd’s 2-1 win over Crystal Palace.
Man Utd’s result over Crystal Palace moved the Red Devils to third place in the Premier League table before their encounter with Eddie Howe’s Newcastle side.
Who was Manchester United’s most disappointing player vs Newcastle?
Man Utd fans’ verdict on Bryan Mbeumo after his lack of impact against Premier League side Newcastle at St James’ Park
Posting in lively United In Focus’ TalkingPoints platform, Manchester United fans felt Bryan Mbeumo put in a lacklustre and ineffective performance against Newcastle.
One Man Utd fan said: “Mbeumo [was the most disappointing player]. […] Bryan was really quiet today and was probably lucky to last as long as he did [on] the pitch.”
“Bryan was very poor. Was not great against Palace either,” another added.
While a third TalkingPoints user posted: “Thought Mbeumo looked very poor today. We are badly missing [Ruben] Amorim’s take-on ability on the right flank.”
Somebody else wrote: “Mbeumo has not been good enough recently. Has got goal contributions, but has been poor.”
Another commented: “Mbuemo did nothing. [His] option-taking was poor. His form is on the decline.”
“Needs to re-find his form quickly. Will most likely be dropped for the Villa match,” a sixth added.
Man Utd have lost 2-1 to Newcastle – What went wrong?
What happened in Man Utd’s Premier League match against Newcastle amid Bryan Mbeumo’s display at St James’ Park?
United and Newcastle had a lively end to the first half after the Magpies were reduced to 10 men after Jacob Ramsey was sent off for a second bookable offence.
However, Newcastle broke the deadlock against United in first-half injury-time after Anthony Gordon beat Senne Lammens from the spot-kick on Wednesday.
The Red Devils rallied back before the half-time whistle at St James’ Park after Casemiro headed home an equaliser from a superb Bruno Fernandes free-kick.
United failed to capitalise on their numerical advantage after the break and Michael Carrick tasted his first Premier League defeat as interim boss since his appointment.
William Osula produced a curling strike from inside the right side of the United box and a helpless Senne Lammens watched the ball land in the far corner of his net.
