Erik ten Hag has 'lost the players', insists Paul Merson, as he claims the Man United boss is under 'serious pressure' amid 'toxic' performances

Paul Merson has claimed Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has 'lost the players' after the Red Devils suffered another heavy home defeat.

Ten Hag's side saw their Carabao Cup defence come to an abrupt end on Wednesday night, after falling to a 3-0 home defeat to Newcastle.

Miguel Almiron and Lewis Hall gave the visitors a 2-0 first half lead, with Joe Willock sealing victory for the Magpies in the second half.

The dismal result followed Man United suffering a 3-0 loss in front of their own fans in the Manchester derby on Sunday.
