'They won it on PASSION - it's not acceptable': Furious Luke Shaw rips into his Manchester United team-mates after defeat at Newcastle as he claims their rivals had more 'motivation' in top-four battle at St James' Park

Luke Shaw has ripped into his Manchester United team-mates after they were beaten 2-0 at top four rivals Newcastle.

Goals from Joe Willock and Callum Wilson ensured a notable victory for Eddie Howe's side that saw them leap-frog United into third, further strengthening their case for a top four berth this season.

Speaking to Sky Sports after United's latest away defeat, which follows their 7-0 hammering at Anfield at the start of last month, Shaw said performances like that put in at St James' Park were 'not acceptable'.

'Not good enough,' he said.
