will leave the north-east battered and bruised after a 4-1 hammering against The two sides were level at the break after and traded goals, but a second-half onslaught saw the Magpies streak away in the absence of manager , who was hospitalised on Friday night.
Harvey Barnes got two of the goals before Bruno Guimaraes completed the scoreline in the 77th minute. Newcastle are now up to fourth with a game in hand on their rivals, while United's attention must turn back to a quarter-final second leg at home to Lyon on Thursday. Here, Express Sport takes you through how each player in red performed...
Man Utd player ratings vs Newcastle (3-4-3)Altay Bayindir: 5
Initially commanded his box well on a big day standing in for Andre Onana, which all went pear-shaped when his lazy clearance was intercepted by Joelinton before Guimaraes scored. United can't seem to shake off these goalkeeper mistakes.
Noussair Mazraoui: 4 (Shaw, 78)
Failed to stop Tino Livramento's cross which was tapped home by Barnes. Mazraoui's slip then led directly to Barnes making it 3-1.
Victor Lindelof: 5
Hesitated before the brilliant Alexander Isak assist which created Tonali's opener.
Leny Yoro: 5 (booked)
Part of a defence which ultimately couldn't cope with Newcastle's attacking weaponry. Picked up a completely needless booking with a push on Fabian Schar.
Diogo Dalot: 6
A powerful run forward and perfectly-timed lay-off to create Garnacho's goal. But was then skinned by Livramento before the cross which set up Barnes' first.
Manuel Ugarte: 5 (booked)
Surrendered possession in the lead-up to Tonali's goal and struggled to stamp his authority on the middle of the park.
Christian Eriksen: 5
Anonymous performance from the Dane.
Harry Amass: 5 (Dorgu, 55)
Had a tough time against Jacob Murphy on his first Manchester United start.
Alejandro Garnacho: 7 (Mount, 55)
Could have done more in the game but his quality was outlined by his smart take and left-footed finish, which went in off the post.
Joshua Zirkzee: 6 (Hojlund, 55)
Some good stuff and some not so good. A great piece of link-up with Bruno Fernandes, but also lost possession which led straight to a Newcastle chance. Was playing with confidence when he felt something in his hamstring and limped off.
Bruno Fernandes: 6 (Mainoo, 81)
Popped up all over the place but wasn't able to influence the game like United fans know he can.
SUBS
Patrick Dorgu: 6
Never fails to bring the energy and offered more than 18-year-old Amass.
Rasmus Hojlund: 5
Another quiet showing through the middle after coming in with more than half an hour to play.
Mason Mount: 5
Not much to shout about from his 35 minutes on the pitch.
Kobbie Mainoo: N/A
A late addition.
Luke Shaw: N/A
A late addition.
