Manchester United suffered a second successive 3-0 defeat at Old Trafford as goals from Miguel Almiron, Lewis Hall and Joe Willock knocked United out of the Carabao Cup.

Here are the Manchester United player ratings.

Andre Onana: 5/10 – Stood no chance for the goals that were scored. He can’t be blamed for the defeat.

Diogo Dalot: 3/10 – He was far from convincing and lacked the defensive nous to deal with the Magpies attacks down his channel .

Harry Maguire: 5/10 – Couldn’t clear his lines properly, albeit under pressure from Gordon to quell the danger that led to Newcastle’s second goal.

Victor Lindelof: 6/10 – Safe on the ball and ended up with the armband for the second half.

Sergio Reguilon: 6/10 – His return to the side was a welcome boost and played with a purpose. Newcastle seemed to identify that the opposite side was weaker. Booked for kicking the ball away.

Casemiro (c): 4/10 – Got an early yellow card for a cynical foul he felt he had to make. Perhaps also lacking fitness after not featuring since before the international break.

Mason Mount: 5/10 – He didn’t do much to stake his claim for a starting berth and looked lost in midfield.

Antony: 5/10 – Showed glimpses of quality, especially early in the second half, but not enough of it.

Hannibal Mejbri: 5/10 – Seems to be the best player among his senior players. He committed a reckless foul just moments after a booking and was rather fortunate not to be sent off inside 20 minutes.

Alejandro Garnacho: 6/10 – Not doing enough despite the immense talent he has.

Anthony Martial: 5/10  – No real attacking threat or contribution.

Subs

Aaron Wan-Bissaka (46’ for Dalot) – 6/10

Sofyan Amrabat (46’ for Casemiro) – 5/10

SUB: Rasmus Hojlund (64’ for Martial) – 5/10

SUB: Marcus Rashford (65’ for Garnacho) – 6/10

SUB: Bruno Fernandes (65’ for Hannibal) – 6/10

Subs not used: Bayindir (GK), Evans, McTominay, Eriksen

Manager

Erik ten Hag – 2/10 – Made seven changes from the weekend. Turned to his bench at half-time too in the hope of a response after a disappointing first half. The team he picked should have been good enough, but confidence is at a low ebb.
