"Amorim finds no greater disappointment than game losses"

Rewritten Article:

A humbling weekend for Manchester United as they dropped Andre Onana after some midweek fumbles, only for replacement Altay Bayındır to flub up on Sunday night in their beat-down by Newcastle at St. James' Park. The Magpies put one more point between them and United, now sitting fifth in the table, just a solitary point behind Nottingham Forest, who lost on Saturday.

The Magpies stampede past Manchester United

In the absence of manager Eddie Howe, who was admitted to the hospital on Friday, Newcastle began with momentum, with Sandro Tonali snagging the first goal for them in the 24th minute. United managed to even things up in the 37th minute, thanks to Alejandro Garnacho, but the second half belonged to Newcastle. Harvey Barnes bagged a brace, followed by Bruno Guimaraes capitalizing on Bayindir's bungled clearance, making it four.

After the game, Man United captain Bruno Fernandes said, "We lost the game. In the first half, we played well, but in the second, we couldn't hold our form. We know it's been a hard season, and our position in the table isn't where this club belongs. We need to move forward since we have a huge game coming up. We have to clear our heads and give it everything we've got."

Bruno conceded that it's been a rough season for Man United, with inconsistent performances and a lack of fearlessness. "People are quick to criticize, but it's par for the course when you play for United. Our fans have been with us through the tough times, so it's time we give something back," he said.

Meanwhile, boss Ruben Amorim stated, "We made too many mistakes, and Newcastle was stronger in second balls. All of our errors made it tough to win the game. It's a little bit of everything. It's really hard to beat teams like Newcastle when we make mistakes that help them. We should concentrate on our game on Thursday."

Asked about the criticism the team is facing, Amorim replied, "I get it, but I don't care. There is nothing worse than losing games. People can say whatever they want. I just want to focus on Thursday. We have a chance to make it to the Champions League, and it's a crucial game."
