Man Utd v Newcastle: Pictures<\/h3>\n

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag insisted pre-match that his group of players \u201ccan\u2019t feel sorry\u201d for themselves during this spell of bad form, but after the rallying cry they switched off to complain about a decision going against them only for Newcastle to take advantage on their way to a second goal. Lewis Hall\u2019s strike came either side of efforts from Miguel Almiron and Joe Willock in a 3-0 win that sealed their place in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.<\/p>\n

Heading into what felt like a crucial cup game at Old Trafford, Ten Hag made it extremely clear that United\u2019s players could not believe that the entire world is against them and needed to carry on with their work.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t feel sorry for yourself as a top footballer,\u201d Ten Hag told Sky Sports. \u201cIt\u2019s tough, it\u2019s hard, you have to deal with it for 24 hours and then you move to another challenge. You can\u2019t change it anymore, but you can change the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

When he was asked whether the United fans deserved to see an improved performance against Newcastle, Ten Hag replied: \u201cThat is always what we want. They deserve it, they are always behind us. We know we have to match high standards, we know what to do and we are very eager to give a good performance and get into the next round.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, it appears that the message was not adhered to. Shortly before Hall doubled Newcastle\u2019s advantage, the visitors had won a free-kick in their own half after Paul Dummett was adjudged to have been brought down by Anthony Martial.<\/p>\n

Instead of getting in place to defend an attack, over half of the United team began protesting to the referee and felt that they were harshly treated. Newcastle then took this free-kick quickly as the hosts were busy complaining, before Hall fired an effort from the edge of the box to double his side\u2019s lead.<\/p>\n
