Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has hit out at Erik ten Hag after the Manchester United coach accused the Magpies of time wasting.
Ten Hag had spoken about the issue before their Carabao Cup final win over Newcastle and ahead of this Premier League game at the weekend.
Following the Magpies 2-0 success in the league, their revenge for losing the cup final, Howe spoke up about ten Hag's comments.
"I'm pleased you brought that up, actually, because I want to make one thing very clear: we want the ball in play," he told reporters.
"We play a quick game.
"I don't get where this time-wasting nonsense has come from because it's not us.
You saw today we wanted the ball back in play as quickly as possible: high energy, high tempo, ball in play."
He added: "If something is not accurate then, naturally, you want to put the right point across. We want the ball in play - that's the type of team we are."
