Abhisit Vejjajiva, leader of the Democrat Party, boasted about Newcastle winning against Man Utd while playing with 10 men, asking if they need to be down to 9 players to secure a win.
On 6 March 2026, Mr. Abhisit Vejjajiva, leader of the Democrat Party and a devoted Newcastle United fan, led both constituency and party-list MPs to report to the Secretariat of the House of Representatives.
While touring the parliament building—his first time working and visiting this parliament—Abhisit spoke with the media about the recent football match where Newcastle beat Manchester United 2-1 at home.
Mark Abhisit joked, "Even with only 10 players, they still won. Or do Man Utd need Newcastle to be down to 9 players before they can win?"
After losing to Newcastle, Manchester United's unbeaten streak under coach Michael Carrick was halted at 10 matches. They currently sit 3rd in the league with 51 points from 29 matches, while Newcastle is 12th with 39 points from 29 matches.
