In the Premier League, Manchester United went down to a 0-1 defeat against Newcastle, in which the underperforming Anthony Martial, who was expected to be the starting striker, suffered a frustrating fixture. He failed to execute his defensive strategy during the game, resulting in a harsh reprimand from coach Tannhäuser on the sidelines. In the face of the accusation, Madill showed no weakness and opened his arms to show his displeasure, an act that he fears will see him suffer from Tanhag's cold shoulder in the future.
Despite scoring for United in their last league game, Madill, who unexpectedly replaced Helen in the starting lineup this time around, didn't touch inside the opposition's penalty area for the entire first half, even ignoring the stare of Newcastle stalwart Fabian Shoha on a number of occasions. On one of these occasions, Fabian Shuha burst forward with the ball and almost created a goal scoring opportunity for Mikiel Amiran. It was a moment that saw Tannhäuser roar from the sidelines, while Madier did not budge and held out his hands in protest.
