will leave the north-east battered and bruised after a 4-1 hammering against The two sides were level at the break after and traded goals, but a second-half onslaught saw the Magpies streak away in the absence of manager , who was hospitalised on Friday night.

Harvey Barnes got two of the goals before Bruno Guimaraes completed the scoreline in the 77th minute. Newcastle are now up to fourth with a game in hand on their rivals, while United's attention must turn back to a quarter-final second leg at home to Lyon on Thursday. Here, Express Sport takes you through how each player in red performed...

Man Utd player ratings vs Newcastle (3-4-3)

Altay Bayindir: 5

Initially commanded his box well on a big day standing in for Andre Onana, which all went pear-shaped when his lazy clearance was intercepted by Joelinton before Guimaraes scored. United can't seem to shake off these goalkeeper mistakes.

Noussair Mazraoui: 4 (Shaw, 78)

Failed to stop Tino Livramento's cross which was tapped home by Barnes. Mazraoui's slip then led directly to Barnes making it 3-1.

Victor Lindelof: 5

Hesitated before the brilliant Alexander Isak assist which created Tonali's opener.

Leny Yoro: 5 (booked)

Part of a defence which ultimately couldn't cope with Newcastle's attacking weaponry. Picked up a completely needless booking with a push on Fabian Schar.

Diogo Dalot: 6

A powerful run forward and perfectly-timed lay-off to create Garnacho's goal. But was then skinned by Livramento before the cross which set up Barnes' first.

Manuel Ugarte: 5 (booked)

Surrendered possession in the lead-up to Tonali's goal and struggled to stamp his authority on the middle of the park.

Christian Eriksen: 5

Anonymous performance from the Dane.

Harry Amass: 5 (Dorgu, 55)

Had a tough time against Jacob Murphy on his first Manchester United start.

Alejandro Garnacho: 7 (Mount, 55)

Could have done more in the game but his quality was outlined by his smart take and left-footed finish, which went in off the post.

Joshua Zirkzee: 6 (Hojlund, 55)

Some good stuff and some not so good. A great piece of link-up with Bruno Fernandes, but also lost possession which led straight to a Newcastle chance. Was playing with confidence when he felt something in his hamstring and limped off.

Bruno Fernandes: 6 (Mainoo, 81)

Popped up all over the place but wasn't able to influence the game like United fans know he can.

SUBS

Patrick Dorgu: 6

Never fails to bring the energy and offered more than 18-year-old Amass.

Rasmus Hojlund: 5

Another quiet showing through the middle after coming in with more than half an hour to play.

Mason Mount: 5

Not much to shout about from his 35 minutes on the pitch.

Kobbie Mainoo: N/A

A late addition.

Luke Shaw: N/A

A late addition.
