Luke Shaw has admitted Manchester United were beaten by “passion, desire, hunger and attitude” in their 2-0 defeat at Newcastle – describing the nature of their defeat as “unacceptable”.
In a one-sided encounter, second-half goals by Joe Willock and Callum Wilson saw Newcastle surge to an impressive 2-0 win and leapfrog Erik ten Hag’s side into third in the Premier League.
“I don’t think they won the game on quality today, they won it on passion, desire, hunger, attitude, and they had higher motivation than us and that can’t be possible,” Shaw told Sky Sports. “I feel I say the same things every time we lose. It’s not acceptable. At Manchester United that can’t be possible.”
