For this season, there is nothing wrong if we call Manchester United a mediocre team because it is a fact, this label is given to teams that are in 10th position or lower. I had previously predicted that Newcastle would win this match but I didn't expect them to lose by 4 goals, yeah bad defense is still an excuse, we know Manchester United are not aiming for anything in the Premier League because they just need to stay next season but I hope this defeat does not impact their performance in the Europa League.

Newcastle's efforts to win a ticket to the Champions League are worthy of appreciation since their poor performance a few months ago, but somehow they managed to find it again before the season ended. yeah although Newcastle is not really safe yet but if they remain consistent then it is not difficult. The situation have turned for Nottingham Forest with 2 recent defeats threaten their position even in the near future Newcastle can replace them.

Describing Manchester United as "mediocre" is more of a fact than an insult.: 13th place, with 14 League losses, have lowest point total in PL history approaching, and have a €694 million squad

They now reflect a European split personality. Bruno cooking, Højlund finishing cold; unbeaten in the Europa League. The league? Dead inside. European Union? Whole different beast. Sure, Onana went all soap opera on fan again in that 2-2 draw in Lyon, but there was fire in that. They still have a chance if they can psychologically separate the trauma of St. James' Park (and indeed, 4-1)

Regarding Newcastle: lost half their defense, declared "screw it," and dropped five wins in six. No Botman, no Lascelles? No big deal because Barnes is cooking and Guimarães is fantastic. They’re basically holding their Champions League dreams together, and somehow it’s working

Manchester United are not going through a good period, but let's say that calling them mediocre is not an insult but an observation
i am sorry, i remember the good times when they were the most feared team in Europe

they have a team worth 694 million euros but they are not performing as they should in the Premier League, i would ask myself two questions

Manchester United is not reflecting the quality of the squad right now. Because at the end of the year, players will probably lose value. Because no one wants players who do not carry their team, do not carry them in games, and cannot score goals. Manchester United players will slowly start to lose value. Next year, we will probably see a complete change. Manchester United may be in a better position next year. But this requires a large transfer budget. In addition, the technical director will need to choose the best players when building the team. It is very difficult to search for players who can adapt to the Premier League and be successful in the Premier League. I hope the Portuguese head coach can do this.
