Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe took a major swipe at Manchester United after Wednesday night's Carabao Cup win.

The Toon were comfortable 3-0 winners at Old Trafford - so much so that Howe likened the game to a "training session".

The Newcastle manager made the dig when asked about his late substitutes.

Newcastle made their double change just four minutes after Joe Willock's solo goal had put them 3-0 up. Howe throwing on senior players Bruno Guimaraes and Callum Wilson.

Asked to explain the switch, Howe said: "The intention was to give minutes to players, so they could use it as their training session."

United were also beaten 3-0 at home by Manchester City on Sunday. It's the first time in 61 years they have lost two successive home games in a row by three goals.
