We had to put it right in front of our fans." "I hate to say it, but they were better today -- especially their determination, passion and desire. The whistle goes and it's the complete opposite to what we've been doing in training. "Not what we wanted. "It left a sour taste in our mouth.

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea was forced into a double save in the 16th minute, diving to punch away Alexander Isak's header and then stopping Willock's close-range shot with his body.

The England defender had harsh words for his teammates after a 2-0 loss at St James' Park.

“We had our opportunities but then you have to go for goal with the determination they did. In the past we were better. “I hate to say it, they were better today. “Luke Shaw was right, I agree with him, Newcastle wanted it more,” Ten Haag said. They wanted to win more this week.

Eddie Howe's side have recaptured early season form but their visitors struggle without Casemiro in midfield.

Here, before half‑time, it was a matter of necessity to try to stem the Newcastle tide.

It was one of the world’s great mysteries. The wide forwards, Allan Saint-Maximin and Jacob Murphy, had the beating of their full-backs.

The United manager was shocked at the lack of passion and desire from his players against Newcastle on Sunday.

We played too high in the midfield and it was easy for the two centre-halves from Newcastle to defend our midfield players, so they had to play a bit deeper. “We didn’t create many chances and when we were there, we weren’t determined enough to score a goal. Therefore we made the subs, to put Marcel Sabitzer as no.10 and Scott McTominay in a deeper role.” “I think our attacking game was not good enough,” Ten Hag said after the defeat to Newcastle. “When you travel to St James’ Park you know what will be going on, especially after we win the Carabao Cup.” We didn’t enter the final third, the box, too many times of the opponent, but they could easily enter our box.

“We had to be patient, we created a number of chances we didn’t take but I think we showed real belief today. “I don’t think we underestimated Newcastle but I do think we have to be much better,” he said. “I don’t know where this time‑wasting nonsense has come from, it’s not us,” Howe said. “I know this team has the quality to score goals but we didn’t create too many chances. “I do think Newcastle are a very good side but I don’t think they won the game on quality today,” Shaw said.
