Here is how the Man Utd legend reacted because the match unfolded in entrance of him…

Before the sport…

“You can’t go from where they are currently to an amazing performance. I get that completely.

“But what I’d say is that you just nonetheless must see glimpses of issues that you just like, and this concept that Ruben Amorim’s acquired. I do know that they have been struggling to get minutes on the coaching pitch, however you’d wish to suppose from sport to sport that they’d truly begin to settle right into a sample of enjoying a way, and we’re not seeing that but.

“One thing I would say is I think Ruben Amorim maybe has to just select an 11 and just go with it.”

On if Amorim is making too many modifications

“He hasn’t settled on a team yet. Is it time to create some stability? The players haven’t picked up on his idea, but how much more difficult is it if the players haven’t got the pattern of playing together?”

On if there have been any positives below Amorim

“They have gone backwards but hopefully that is backwards to go forwards.

“There are very slim pickings when it comes to positives within the first few weeks.

“Maybe the most positive thing is that he has seen what these players really are and we are not getting the bounce which may have made him think they are better than they are.

“I believe he thought it was an enormous job nevertheless it’s a large job and he’s discovering that out early when his a place of energy and energy.”

On Manchester United’s summer signings struggling

“What am l stunned about is that when in the summertime Manchester United signed these three or 4 gamers, I did not hear anybody say ‘Manchester United have had a horrible switch market’.

“I am shocked about how poor those players have been in their early months.

“I’ve mentioned it earlier than that this membership has been a graveyard for gamers who’ve include respectable reputations. And it’s occurring once more.

“I didn’t hear anyone say in the summer when Yoro, De Ligt, Ugarte, Zirkzee joined that United hadn’t signed half-decent players. The problem is that when you have seen them out here in a red shirt then Manchester United look a worse team. That’s the odd thing.”

On Isak’s early opener…

“Casemiro and [Christian] Eriksen haven’t got the legs to get around.

“Manchester United had three centre-halves… there’s a deflection however one in every of them has to choose up the hazard man.

“Manchester United’s confidence is shot.

“Watch Martinez. He has to get aggressive subsequent to him. He has to do higher.

“Maguire looks behind him and can’t believe he is unchallenged. Martinez HAS to get body-to-body.”

When Isak missed a one-on-one shortly after…

“What was that?!

“Surely he has to fireplace it previous [Andre] Onana into the far nook.

“But [Lisandro] Martinez’s defending was horrific.”

When Joelinton made it 2-0…

“It is almost a copy.

“Casemiro and Eriksen should not be enjoying collectively within the Premier League. It is simply really easy.”

As the first half progressed…

“Newcastle are hammering Manchester United. This is a mauling.”

On the botched team selection

“When you noticed the Manchester United beginning XI you needed to suppose it will be very troublesome for this crew to play nicely.

“The two wing-backs aren’t very good in the attacking part of the pitch. The two central midfielders can’t run. The back three have no legs. [Joshua] Zirkzee has no balance off [Rasmus] Hojlund.

“You solely actually have Amad [Diallo] who you suppose would possibly do one thing.

On Newcastle’s superiority

“Newcastle are having the time of their lives out there. They should be three or four up.

“They have been completely terrible. You are watching the worst pound-for-pound crew within the nation.

“[Diogo] Dalot is very willing and he gets up there but his options with the ability he has as a full-back are limited.

“I’m taking a look at [Ruben] Amorim and he have to be considering, ‘what am l watching?’

“There are only three of them who can say they have been alright under Amorim: Dalot, [Noussair] Mazraoui and Amad.”

When Zirkzee was subbed off within the thirty third minute…

“I have to feel sorry for him.

“He has mainly been cheered off by his personal followers and that’s brutal.

“I’ve not seen that too many times at Old Trafford.

“It’s a brutal one for him. I do not suspect he went again to get a Lucozade.”

On value for money…

“They have all been completely terrible. You are watching the worst pound-for-pound crew within the nation.”

Second-half thoughts…

“I’m stunned there weren’t modifications at half-time. I believed there can be.

“The amount of changes Manchester United make to their back five in game and from game to game is incredible.

“It has been a wrestle for Casemiro and it has been a wrestle for Martinez.

“Since [Kobbie] Mainoo’s introduction, it has been better for Manchester United.

“The first half-hour was embarrassing, as unhealthy as you will notice.”

As Man Utd struggled to attain…

“There was a graphic shown before the game by Jamie Carragher that showed that when Manchester United have played Mazraoui and Dalot, the more defensive wing-backs, they haven’t scored a goal in open play.

“Which is stark and it’s occurring once more in entrance of our eyes.”

On player of the match Isak…

“I’m stating the plain however Isak is a hell of a participant.

“The game was won by this man in the first 20 minutes.”

On what now for Manchester United

“Worrying times for Manchester United and Amorim.

“He knew it was an enormous job however l suppose it’s far greater than he ever imagined.”
