Coach Eddie Howe fielded new signing Anthony Elanga in a three-man attack from Newcastle, alongside Anthony Gordon and Osula. Previously, the coaching staff of the "Magpies" had removed key striker Alexander Isak from the list of 30 players traveling this summer to resolve the future.

Kim Jin-kyu scored the only goal of the match in the 36th minute, bringing victory to the home team. Newcastle stars such as Elanga, Gordon, Sandro Tonali and Livramento disappointed when they could not turn the situation around in the remaining minutes of the match.

This is Newcastle's third consecutive defeat in pre-season training. Previously, the Premier League club suffered a 2-3 defeat to Arsenal and a 0-4 defeat to Celtic.

Although the matches were only friendly, Newcastle showed a worrying face. The club's preparation for the new season was rated poorly.

Attention has focused on Isak, as the Swedish striker has expressed his desire to leave the club this summer. According to talkSPORT , Isak has refused to return to the training ground. Currently, he is working on his own according to a personal training plan at home.

Newcastle will only negotiate if they receive at least £150m. However, Liverpool, the leading candidate to sign Isak, are only willing to pay £120m.

The prospect of losing Isak at the end of the summer transfer window and failing to bring in a worthy replacement would be a disaster scenario for Newcastle ahead of the 2025/26 season.

Newcastle's 4 goals drowned MU. Early morning of April 14, MU suffered a 1-4 defeat to Newcastle at St James' Park in round 32 of the Premier League.
