Man Utd short on confidence, concedes Solskjaer after Newcastle loss

NEWCASTLE: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitted Manchester United are suffering a confidence crisis after Matty Longstaff marked his Premier League debut with the superb strike that gave Newcastle a shock 1-0 win on Sunday.

This was a wretched display from United, especially given the paucity of the opposition provided by a Newcastle team who had fared even worse in the opening weeks of the season.“Some of the boys lack a little bit of composure and we don’t create enough chances to win a game of football.Alarmingly, United’s only victory in their last five matches in all competitions came on penalties against minnows Rochdale in the League Cup.

“They’re human and they want to do well. They need to see the results of their hard work and we’re not getting those results so that’s going to affect them.” Their haul of nine points after eight games is their worst tally at this stage of a top-flight campaign since the dark days of 1989. In his 400th game as a Premier League manager, Magpies boss Steve Bruce ended a run of 21 games without a win against the club he served with distinction as a player.Newcastle’s last home game attracted their lowest league attendance for eight years, and their last away game, a 5-0 humiliation at Leicester ranked as their heaviest defeat in four years.Newcastle-born Longstaff didn’t take long to get into the swing of it on his top-flight debut, alongside his older brother Sean in midfield.
