Manchester United produced a dire performance as they were defeated 2-1 by the 10-men of Newcastle in the Premier League on Wednesday night.
Michael Carrick made one change to his line up with Noussair Mazraoui selected in place of Diogo Dalot. Newcastle went close early on when a Kieran Trippier cross hit the post, while Bryan Mbeumo blazed a glorious opportunity over the bar at the other end.
Newcastle were reduced to 10-men when Jacob Ramsey was shown a second yellow card for a dive in the box, but they took the lead just before half-time when Anthony Gordon scored a penalty after he was fouled by Bruno Fernandes. It didn't last long as Casemiro headed the visitors level deep into stoppage time.
Gordon wasted a golden opportunity from a corner in what was a low-quality second-half performance, before Newcastle grabbed an improbable win as Will Osula scored a spectacular solo goal from the bench.
It meant Carrick finally tasted defeat as United head coach and here is how we rated the United players at St. James' Park:

Blazed an early effort over the bar. He was a threat early on but had less impact on the match as it continued. | AFP via Getty Images

11. Benjamin Sesko - 6
Worked hard without much reward in the forward line. He tried to make chances for himself, but just didn't have enough service. | AFP via Getty Images

12. Diogo Dalot - 6
A good contribution from the bench. He offered a threat from the right wing and made United a better side. Fortunate not to be booked for a clumsy foul. | Getty Images
