Wednesday’s fourth-round clash was a repeat of the final eight months ago at Wembley, where Erik ten Hag crowned a promising first season in the hotseat by ending the club’s six-year wait for silverware.
But things have gone awry since then and pressure will intensify on the Dutchman and his team after Newcastle inflicted the Red Devils’ eighth defeat in 15 matches to progress to the quarter-finals.
The fallout to this tie is sure to be dominated by Ten Hag’s United after seeing Sunday’s derby humbling against Manchester City compounded, but this was Newcastle’s night.
The Magpies had only won one of their previous 41 away matches against the Red Devils in all competitions, and few will forget their first Old Trafford triumph since December 2013.

Manchester United vs Newcastle
Erik ten Hag is certain that Manchester United can turn round their indifferent form and kick off a winning run of matches.
The United boss said: "At Manchester United, every game involves high stakes. Every single day, there is pressure on everybody involved with this club, but those demands and standards are a challenge which we must always meet head-on.
"While this has not been the start to the season that we had all hoped for, I am certain that we have the talent and attitude as a collective to move in the right direction.
"I believe that it is only a matter of time before we are showing our true selves. It will come, I am certain."
Manchester United ‘have got to move on’ from humbling derby experience
Jonny Evans says Manchester United have to move on from their derby disappointment and believes injuries have played a part in Erik ten Hag’s second season struggles.
A promising first campaign under the Dutchman has been forgotten as a challenging start to this term continued with Sunday’s humbling at home to Manchester City.
Erling Haaland’s brace and a late Phil Foden goal sealed City a derby victory at Old Trafford that was more one-sided than even the 3-0 scoreline suggested.

Manchester United vs Newcastle team changes
Erik ten Hag makes seven changes to the Manchester United team that lost to Manchester City at the weekend. The only change in defence sees Sergio Reguilon replace Jonny Evans while there is a whole new midfield.
Casemiro, Hannibal Mejbri and Mason Mount slot in here with Antony, Alejandro Garnacho and Anthony Martial leading the line.
Eddie Howe, similarly, makes a bunch of changes to his team. There’s a new defence in place with Martin Dubravka in goal and Tino Livramento, Emil Krafth, Paul Dummett and Matt Targett sitting in front of him.
Sean Longstaff and Anthony Gordon keep their places in the side, as does Joelinton who looks to be playing in a more advanced role.
Matt Ritchie, Lewis Hall and Joe Willock also return to the team.

Newcastle not looking for revenge
Manchester United denied Newcastle a trophy last season when they defeated the Magpies in the Carabao Cup final. With the two clubs renewing that rivalry tonight, Eddie Howe has played down suggestions that revenge is motivating his team.
"That’s not our emotion as I sit here now. Our emotion is just to try to prepare and win the game.” He said, “One win and we’re into the quarter-final of the competition. We loved our run in it last year.
"This is a one-off game and I’m sure both teams will be motivated to try and win."

Erik ten Hag still believes Man Utd are moving forward
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is confident his team are moving in the right direction, despite being humiliated at home in the derby against Manchester City.
"There is no point in feeling sorry for ourselves," said Ten Hag whose side lost 3-0 last Sunday and need to win this evening to prove their credentials as a threatening side.
"I continue to believe in these players."
