Erik ten Hag tells players 'there is no point feeling sorry for ourselves' in rousing comments ahead of Man United's Carabao Cup tie against Newcastle - as he demands backlash from embarrassing 3-0 derby defeat

Erik Ten Hag says his players must handle the pressure of being at Manchester United as he backed them to rebound from an embarrassing defeat in the Old Trafford derby.

Sunday's 3-0 loss to Manchester City was United's seventh in 14 games this season and turned up the heat on Ten Hag again following three straight wins.

United meet Newcastle in the Carabao Cup at Old Trafford on Wednesday in a repeat of last season's final, and the Dutchman wants to see an immediate response from his team.

'At Manchester United, every game involves high stakes,' Ten Hag wrote in the United Review for Wednesday's game.
