Manchester United were humbled 3-0 at home by Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup fourth round as their dismal start to the season took a serious turn for the worse on Wednesday.
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag looked shocked on the sidelines as his team were booed off the pitch, with the Dutchman under intense pressure following their 3-0 home defeat by Manchester City 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 Manchester United won 2-0, Newcastle led 2-0 at half-time thanks to goals by 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 with a sliding finish.
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," Magpies 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 -- their worst run since 1972.

曼联在卡拉宝杯中主场被纽卡斯尔击败
在联赛杯第四轮比赛中，曼联队在主场0-3不敌纽卡斯尔联队，他们本赛季惨淡的开局在周三急剧恶化。
曼联主帅埃里克·十·哈格在场边显得很震惊，因为他的球队在场外遭到嘘声，周日主场 3-0 输给曼城后，这位荷兰人承受着巨大的压力。
“我们知道这还不够好，”十哈格告诉天空体育。 “我们必须为此承担责任，我必须为此承担责任。我们没有表现好，我为球迷感到遗憾。”
今年温布利决赛重演，曼联以 2-0 获胜，凭借米格尔·阿尔米隆和刘易斯·霍尔的进球，纽卡斯尔联在半场以 2-0 领先，随后通过乔·威洛克扩大领先优势，轻松进入四分之一决赛 。
第 28 分钟，蒂诺·利夫拉门托 (Tino Livramento) 得球后，阿尔米隆 (Almiron) 破门，纽卡斯尔取得领先，巴拉圭人将球滑过门将安德烈·奥纳纳 (Andre Onana)。
八分钟后，霍尔将领先优势扩大一倍，在一次糟糕的解围后凌空射入远角，当威洛克在比赛结束时突破防守并将射门打入底角时，主场球迷的痛苦仍在继续。
“我认为球队的精神体现在表现、团结和团结上，”喜鹊队主教练埃迪·豪说。
“这是一个非常艰难的地方，要取得我们当时所取得的进球，只是表现方式真的让我很高兴。”
曼联在过去 15 场各项赛事中输掉了 8 场，这是自 1972 年以来的最差战绩。
