âMan Utd display could get Ten Hag sackedâ
By Pete Hall at Old Trafford
It is most certainly a packed field, but that may be the worst of the lot from Manchester United. This was the sort of performance that can get a manager the sack, no matter what stage of his âprojectâ he is at.
A makeshift Newcastle United side, with one win at Old Trafford since 1972, strolled to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals with unerring ease, with their error-strewn hosts slipping to a remarkable eighth defeat of the season. The clocks only went back on Sunday.
This rotting carcass of this once great club has barely any meat left on the bone. Where they and their manager go from here is anyoneâs guess. When you think things canât get any worse, Manchester United prove you wrong time and again.

The night Liverpool emerged Carabao Cup favourites
By Robert Dunford
A moment of magic by Darwin Nunez at storm-battered Bournemouth sent Liverpool into the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup, with the Reds now the outright bookmakersâ favourites after Arsenal lost at West Ham.
The second-half strike by substitute Nunez was a curler into the top of the net after the home side pulled one back.
With the weather a major feature of the game, Bournemouth should have done better on 25 minutes. A flowing move found Antoine Semenyo on the right, and he squared for Ryan Christie in a good position â but his finish was well wide of the upright.
The net bulged after half an hour, where Liverpool drew first blood. A shot from Harvey Elliott hit Cody Gakpo which bounced off Andrei Radu, and the Dutchman was on hand to poke home from close range.
The away side looked sharper after their goal, and Dominik Szoboszlai fired just wide soon afterwards. Bournemouth had the benefit of the fierce wind behind them after the interval, and Alex Scott tested that from range two minutes in.
Dominic Solanke fired into the side netting, as the home side looked for an equaliser. Alex Scott almost pulled back for the hosts with a curler from his corner on 52 minutes, but Joe Gomez was on hand to clear off the line.
Mo Salah, making only his fifth ever League Cup appearance, almost doubled the Liverpool lead on the hour, but his header was put wide. Bournemouth pushed and wasted two chances before finally finding a breakthrough.
Antoine Semenyo should have done better soon after Salah missed, when he found space on the right, but to the agony of home fans put his effort wide. Substitute Marcus Tavernier rifled a wind-assisted effort from over twenty yards, that Caiomhin Kelleher had to tip over.
Justin Kluivert turned goalscorer on 64 minutes, when he headed a Scott corner home from a tight angle. As the hosts looked dangerous, Nunez had the decisive word with a strike worthy of a victory. After seemingly miscontrolling on the left, he was able to recover and get a shot on the edge of the box that was simply too good for Radu â and Bournemouth â to stop.
