Manchester United suffered another defeat <\/p>\n
Both sides made several changes from the weekend, but even with Newcastle\u2019s resources stretched by injuries they looked by far the sharper of the two sides, winning the midfield battles and finding space going forward, often far too easily down United\u2019s right-hand side in the first half.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is below the standards everyone expect from Manchester United,\u201d Ten Hag said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is not good enough by far. We have to put it right. I take responsibility for it. It is my team and they are not performing. I have to share it with my players, but I am responsible.\u201d<\/p>\n
Defeat was not the only blow for United with Casemiro, back after a three-game absence, withdrawn at half-time with an unspecified injury which Ten Hag said would rule the Brazilian out of Saturday\u2019s trip to Fulham.<\/p>\n
While United assessed the damage, Newcastle enjoyed lengthy celebrations with their loud travelling support after their first Old Trafford victory since December 2013.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a massive performance from the players and I can\u2019t credit them enough,\u201d said Eddie Howe.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome great stories, only (an injury to) Matt Targett the negative, but even more credit to the players and some giant performances.<\/p>\n
\u201cI personally have always found it a difficult ground and Newcastle the same so another thing to be really proud of the commitment showed by everyone. I thought we showed some great goals, the quality was a real highlight.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are determined to try and do well in every game. We picked a team we felt could win and now we will do the same for Arsenal (on Saturday).\u201d<\/p>\n
