Manchester United v Newcastle player ratings: Casemiro 4, Martial 3; Willock 9, Almiron 8

United's League Cup title defence ends with a 3-0 defeat at Old Trafford in a repeat of last season's final

• 

  Andre Onana 6/10

  MANCHESTER UNITED PLAYER RATINGS: Another three goals conceded, another 3-0 home defeat. No obvious errors in a side which made seven changes. Which was one less than Newcastle made. AFP

• 

  Diogo Dalot 3/10

  As poor as any player in the first half, he afforded too much space as Newcastle dominated down the left and was at fault for two goals. Switched off, didn’t go with his runners. Shot wide on 46 – then came off at half time. AFPShow less

• 

  Harry Maguire 5/10

  One of the better performers. The bar was set as low as it has been in recent seasons. Pulled out of position for the first goal. PA

• 

  Victor Lindelof 5/10

  Back at centre half and hardly convincing. Captain for the second half, not that it made much difference. AP

• 

  Sergio Reguilon 4/10

  In the wrong position for Almiron’s goal. Cut a deeply frustrated figure on another shocking night at Old Trafford. PA

• 

  Casemiro 4/10

  Captain and the first to shoot on target. Booked early on after Mejbri. Off at half time once again. What on earth has happened to him? AP

• 

  Mason Mount 4/10

  No obstacle to the attack which led to the opening goal. Powerful shot from distance on 46 – he took four shots. Still unconvincing and one of the moaners to the referee as Newcastle attacked and scored a second. PAShow less

• 

  Hannibal Mejbri 3/10

  Booked – as usual – this time after a careless barge on 13 minutes. Fortunate there was no VAR as he avoided a second booking three minutes later. Got back on 22 to stop a Newcastle attack. Just 34 touches in 64 minutes. APShow less

• 

  Antony 4/10

  Dispossessed to cheers from the huge travelling crowd. One-footed as ever, made a nice combination with Martial on 56 before aiming his shot towards Gorse Hill, one mile away. AP

• 

  Anthony Martial 3/10

  No. AP

• 

  Alejandro Garnacho 4/10

  Struggled with his duels, losing possession led to Newcastle’s opener. Dangerous ball to Mount two minutes later. Getty Images

• 

  Aaron Wan Bissaka 5/10

  SUBS: (Dalot 45') Brought urgency down the right. It’s good that he’s back. Getty Images

• 

  Sofyan Amrabat 4/10

  (Casemiro 45') Briefly brought energy. Dispossessed by Joelinton in the run-up to the third. Has done little to show he’s even close to being at the level expected at Manchester United. Getty Images

• 

  Rasmus Hojlund 5/10

  (Martial 64') He must be wondering what he’s walked into. AP

• 

  Marcus Rashford 5/10

  (Garnacho 64') Nothing. Getty Images

• 

  Bruno Fernandes 4/10

  (Mejbri 64') Nothing. PA

• 

  Martin Dubravka 8/10

  NEWCASTLE PLAYER RATINGS: Outside of a few necessary saves, it was a quiet night for Dubravka as he was rarely tested in a substantial way. Getty Images

• 

  Matt Targett N/A

  It was a short night for Targett as a serious-looking hamstring injury saw him depart after just a few minutes of action. PA

• 

  Paul Dummett 8/10

  One of Dummett’s biggest strengths is his aerial ability, and he was as efficient as ever in that and every other department. Reuters

• 

  Emil Krafth 8/10

  The Swede grew into the match after a nervy start and imposed himself on Manchester United’s forwards with some crucial interceptions. AFP

• 

  Tino Livramento 9/10

  Between keeping Garnacho quiet all night and his phenomenal assist for the opener, this was one to remember for the right-back. Looked every bit Kieran Trippier's long-term successor Getty Images

• 

  Lewis Hall 9/10

  The teenage ful-back looked confident at every turn, distributed the ball with ease and slotted in the third goal like a seasoned veteran. AFP

• 

  Sean Longstaff 8/10

  The local midfielder was as focused as ever on a night in which he more than lived up to the title of captain with a largely mistake-free outing. Reuters

• 

  Joe Willock 9/10

  This was a masterclass from Willock, including several great runs, a big helping hand in the second goal and a cracking finish for the third. AFP

• 

  Anthony Gordon 7/10

  While he was marked out of the game in the early stages, the 22-year-old winger battled hard and found his own once he started dropping deeper. Reuters

• 

  Joelinton 8/10

  The Brazilian midfielder was alert, defensively sound, and produced the all-important tackle that started the move for Newcastle's third goal. Getty Images

• 

  Matt Ritchie 7/10

  His work in the final third may not have been as good as it has been in the past, but he still did a solid job of protecting the ball in possession. AP

• 

  Miguel Almiron 8/10

  SUBS: (Targett 5') The forward showed great pace, determination and end product with a goal and a notable role in the second. PA

• 

  Bruno Guimaraes 6/10

  (Willock 64') The Brazilian midfielder's physicality was on full display as he helped Newcastle over the finish line. Reuters

• 

  Callum Wilson 6/10

  (Gordon 64') The England striker at his usual harrying best, chasing down chances at every available opportunity. Reuters

• 

  Dan Burn, N/A

  (Hall 74') The defender did his job in protecting the lead after the hard work was done by his colleagues at the back. AFP

• 

  Kieran Trippier N/A

  (Ritchie 75') It was a short but sweet cameo from the England international that included a few of his trademark deliveries. PA

Manchester United were humbled 3-0 at home by Newcastle United in the League Cup fourth round on Wednesday as their dismal start to the season took a serious turn for the worse.

United manager Erik ten Hag looked shell-shocked as his team were booed off the pitch and the Dutchman is under intense pressure following their 3-0 Premier League defeat by rivals Manchester City at Old Trafford on Sunday.

"We know it is not good enough," Ten Hag told Sky Sports. "We have to take responsibility for it, I have to take responsibility for it. We don't give the performance, I feel sorry for the fans."

In a repeat of this year's final at Wembley, which United won 2-0, Newcastle led 2-0 at halftime thanks to goals by substitute Miguel Almiron and Lewis Hall before extending their lead through Joe Willock to ease into the quarter-finals.

Newcastle took the lead when Almiron scored in the 28th minute after Tino Livramento won the ball and set up the Paraguayan to slot the ball past keeper Andre Onana.

Hall doubled the lead eight minutes later, volleying into the far corner after a poor clearance and the misery continued for the home crowd when Willock sliced through the defence and slotted his shot into the bottom corner around the hour mark.

"I think the spirit of the group just showed in the performance, the togetherness, the unity," Newcastle manager Eddie Howe said.

"This is a really tough place to come and to score the goals we did at the times we did and just the manner of the performance really pleased me."

Manchester United have lost eight of their last 15 games in all competitions, and five of their first 10 at home for the first time since 1930-31. They have lost five of their first 10 Premier League games for the first time ever.
