Manchester United’s loss to Newcastle on Wednesday ended the team’s unbeaten run under Michael Carrick.

The fact that it came despite the Magpies having to play more than one half with 10 men made it a bitter pill to swallow.

However, fans knew such a day was coming based on the Red Devils’ performances in the last few gameweeks.

They failed to beat West Ham away from home, only managing to snatch a last-minute draw thanks to Benjamin Sesko’s heroics.

It was an equally poor performance against Everton, again settled by a brilliant counter-attacking goal scored by the Slovenian.

The 20-time English league champions also managed to see off Crystal Palace, but not before one of their players saw a red card in the second half. That luck eventually ran out at St. James’ Park.

These recent displays are a far cry from the way the team performed when Carrick first arrived, as they annihilated Manchester City, and also defeated league leaders Arsenal in successive weeks.

According to The Sun, United’s overpaid and underperforming stars feel they have let the caretaker head coach down.
