Newcastle captain Jamaal Lascelles lays into Man United after win at St James' Park: 'I don't think they turned up... a lot of their players went missing'

Jamaal Lascelles has accused Manchester United's players of 'going missing' against Newcastle.

The Magpies captain believes Jose Mourinho's side were intimidated by their approach during Sunday's 1-0 victory at St James' Park.

Mourinho substituted Paul Pogba on 65 minutes and later criticised the £89million midfielder for his part in Matt Ritchie's winning goal.
