Manchester United slipped up at St James' Park on Saturday as they were held to a goalless draw by Newcastle United, leaving them just one point behind leaders Manchester City and three points above second-placed Liverpool.
The Red Devils had a number of chances to score, but could not find the back of the net despite dominating possession for much of the match. However, their rivals did not have it easy either, with the Magpies creating several good opportunities to score.
Despite this, United remain in contention for the top four, thanks to their strong defensive record. They have conceded only seven goals all season, which is the fewest in the Premier League so far this campaign.
However, the slip-up means that they will need to improve if they want to keep up with their rivals. It is clear that they need to find a way to score more goals if they want to challenge for the title.
In addition to their attacking issues, United also struggled defensively against Newcastle, conceding two penalties in the space of five minutes. This was a major blow to their chances of winning the game and will likely lead to some criticism from fans and pundits alike.
Overall, while there is still hope for Manchester United to make a strong run for the title, it seems that they will need to improve their performance if they want to catch up to their rivals.
