They need to pick up wins in these games if they want to compete in the UEFA Champions League next season. A club of their stature should be competing at that level regularly.<\/p>\n<p>Manchester United will have to control the game better in the remaining 30 minutes if they want to get the job done. Newcastle have done really well to push the home back into their box, and they have the quality to find a breakthrough if Manchester United do not end their spell of domination.<\/p>\n<p>The departure of Casemiro in particular seemed baffling as the Brazilian did well to keep the Newcastle attackers under control. He had an impressive first half, and Manchester United should have kept him on.<\/p>\n<p>The player himself looked bewildered while coming off.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"row-title\" href=\"https:\/\/strettynews.com\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=226825&amp;action=edit\" aria-label=\"\u201cCarragher pinpoints the \u201creally good\u201d thing Amorim has done against Newcastle\u201d (Edit)\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Carragher pinpoints the \u201creally good\u201d thing Amorim has done against Newcastle<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United are currently leading 1-0 against Newcastle United in the Premier League.\u00a0 Patrick Dorgu scored midway through&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":372145,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-372144","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-soccer","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/372144","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=372144"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/372144\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/372145"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=372144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=372144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=372144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
