Back in the Manchester United starting lineup, Anthony Martial watched helplessly as the Red Devils suffered a scathing 3-0 defeat at Old Trafford when Newcastle visited.

Anthony Martial is content with crumbs this season at Manchester United, understudying Rasmus Hojlund… The French international started and scored in the EFL Cup on September 26, before making six appearances without a goal. “Toto” was back in Erik ten Hag’s eleven on Wednesday against Newcastle, still in the English League Cup, but did not convert his only opportunity before being replaced in the 65th minute of play.

And the residents of Old Trafford, in front of their home crowd, suffered another blow this season with a 3-0 defeat… The Magpies’ full-backs caused carnage in the first half: the young Valentino Livramento went up the whole field on the Miguel Almiron opened the score (28th), then left-hander Lewis Hall scored with a nice recovery (36th). Joe Willock deceived André Onana with a long shot on the hour mark (60th)…

A French international shook the nets this Wednesday evening: Benoît Badiashile played his first match of the season with Chelsea and opened the scoring for the Blues against Blackburn with a shot from the left (30th). The central defender had groin surgery last May. Raheem Sterling doubled the lead on the hour mark (59th) against the 12th in the Championship.
