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 kit ‘too tight’ as players forced to wear replicas
Manchester United players are reportedly wearing replica items of kit during matches this season after players complained the official version was “too tight”.
United goalkeeper Andre Onana is said to have found the Adidas performance model to be uncomfortable, according to the Telegraph, after it was designed to be a closer fit than the replica shirts available from the club shop.
The £47m summer signing has therefore been wearing a looser version in recent matches, while United’s outfielders have also been wearing non-branded socks since August because players have found they are too tight.

Manchester United vs Newcastle prediction
It will not be one for the ages, with Newcastle battling with limited squad depth and a Champions League campaign and United having their well-publicised struggles.
Both managers will want to win so expect goals but Eddie Howe’s men are likely to have the tougher edge which will get them over the line at Old Trafford.
Manchester United 1-2 Newcastle.

Manchester United vs Newcastle
Good evening and welcome to The Independent’s coverage of tonight’s Carabao Cup action as Manchester United host Newcastle in a repeat of the 2022/23 final.
Erik ten Hag’s team come into the match on the back of a 3-0 drumming in the Manchester derby and need a positive result to get the fans back onside at Old Trafford.
Newcastle meanwhile drew 2-2 with Wolves last time out in a display which left a lot to be desired. The bright spark was Callum Wilson who scored both goals and is highly likely to start tonight in the absence of the injured Alexander Isak.
Will Man Utd defeat Newcastle once again and reach the last eight or can Eddie Howe’s team earn some redemption?
