"We are not happy the way we played tonight. The way the game panned out, we had it in our hands largely but credit to Newcastle and they way they approached it. We knew it would be tough, but we navigated the game to a position where we could kick on but we didn't. Bitterly disappointed really."
"I don't think it was the [difficulty of playing] 10 men, we just didn't play good enough. We can't make excuses for that. We all take responsibility for that. It was just the quality."
Manchester United suffered a 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United, breaking their seven-game unbeaten streak under interim manager Michael Carrick. Despite Newcastle midfielder Jacob Ramsey receiving a controversial second yellow card for simulation late in the first half, United failed to capitalize on their numerical advantage. Anthony Gordon converted a penalty after going down under Bruno Fernandes' challenge, but Casemiro equalized with a header in stoppage time. Newcastle's depleted squad remained competitive, with Aaron Ramsdale making crucial saves. William Osula's spectacular 90th-minute finish sealed Newcastle's victory. Carrick acknowledged his team's poor performance and accepted they deserved the loss, emphasizing the lack of quality rather than the difficulty of playing against ten men.
