Frustrated Manchester United players held a meeting without manager Erik ten Hag after they were humbled in a 2-0 loss to Newcastle United on Sunday, said defender Luke Shaw, who gave a brutally honest assessment of his team.
"I'm not going to go too much into that, but the players had a bit of a chat in the changing room after with no staff around," the 27-year-old told Sky Sports.
Newcastle leapfrogged Man United into third in the Premier League standings, and exacted a measure of revenge over their visitors after a 2-0 loss to them in the League Cup final in February. They made it right in fine fashion, outmatching their opponents in virtually every position on the pitch. "Not what we wanted. Not what we were expecting. When you come here to a tough stadium and a very good side and you don't come with the right attitude and hunger it will be a tough day. That showed today. We deserved to lose," he said.
