What happened inside the Manchester United dressing room after Newcastle defeat

Luke Shaw admitted Manchester United's players had a frank discussion among themselves in the dressing room following Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United at St James' Park.

Second half goals from Joe Willock and substitute Callum Wilson secured a fully deserved victory for the home side, who leapfrogged United in the table in the process to climb to up to third, albeit on goal difference. The Magpies were dominant throughout and should have been out of sight by half-time.

United were second best all over the pitch and produced a performance so flat and uninspiring that 2-0 flattered them. They have now lost six of seven matches away from home this season against sides currently camped inside the top half of the table.
