Left-back Luke Shaw described Manchester United's 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United at St James' Park on Sunday afternoon as "unacceptable", admitting that that the home side showed far more hunger for all three points.
United were condemned to their second Premier League defeat in their last three matches, thanks to second half goals from Joe Willock and substitute Callum Wilson. Newcastle were the better side throughout the contest and richly deserved all three points.
The Reds were second best from the very first whistle and failed to lay so much as a glove on the Magpies, who were inspired by a raucous home atmosphere. The result saw Newcastle leapfrog United in the table, moving up to third on goal difference.
