This defeat saw Manchester United exiting the Carabao Cup, a disappointment that further exacerbated the prevailing sentiment of discontent directed at their manager, Erik ten Hag.

Mount, who had been a substitute in the match against Manchester City, was included in the starting lineup against Newcastle. However, his performance failed to make a substantial impact against Eddie Howe’s team. As a consequence, Manchester United’s campaign in the Carabao Cup came to an abrupt end.
Looking forward, Erik ten Hag’s team will resume their Premier League campaign with a match against Fulham on the upcoming Saturday, with hopes of reversing their recent string of disappointing results.
