0 tackles, 0 duels won: Bullied £42m Man Utd ace produces 2/10 nightmare display vs Newcastle – view | OneFootball

Manchester United were stunned to a 2-0 loss to Newcastle United at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Monday.

The Magpies enjoyed a blistering start, taking a 2-0 lead within the first 20 minutes.

The Red Devils gained stability after an early introduction of Kobbie Mainoo for Joshua Zirkzee.

Rasmus Hojlund, Casemiro and Harry Maguire had opportunities to bring United back but they failed to score.

While Casemiro was the worst player, Lisandro Martinez endured a nightmare evening.

The Argentina international was the focal point of a disastrous show for Man United.

He should have been tighter to Alexander Isak for the opening goal when Harry Maguire was drawn by another runner.

Newcastle doubled their lead in a similar fashion by targetting Martinez’s inability to compete in the air.

Joelinton bullied him in an aerial duel to pile more misery at the Red Devils.

The £42 million-rated star lost all three of his duels and lost possession seven times.

He made zero tackles and interceptions. His awful performance earned a 2/10 rating.

In the absence of Bruno Fernandes, Martinez was given the captain’s armband but he failed to inspire his team.

His performances have surprisingly declined over the last 12 months which is an ominous sign for the club.

The Red Devils have now suffered three straight defeats in the league, leaving them languishing in 14th place on the table.

To add insult to injury, United will be facing Liverpool at the Anfield Stadium on Sunday.

The Merseyside club are having a sensational 2024/25 season and have the powers to humiliate their rivals again.
