The Red Devils slumped to a 6-1 loss at home to Tottenham Hotspur before the international break in what manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer described as his 'worst day ever'.
“It’s just a horrible feeling," said Solskjaer. "It’s very embarrassing, it hurts all the players. It hurts me as the manager. It’s my worst day ever.
“I’ll hold my hands up, I’m responsible for this. I’ve lost 5-0 with United and we’ve lost 6-1. We’ve lost big results before and always bounced back.
“I promise we’ll do everything we can to turn this around.”
The Magpies beat Burnley 3-1 last time out as they made it two wins, a draw and a defeat from their opening four fixtures this season.

Newcastle claimed a 1-0 win in the corresponding fixture last season thanks to a solitary strike from Matty Longstaff. The Red Devils beat their opponents 4-1 in the most recent match between the two clubs at Old Trafford late last year.
