  • Manchester United were eliminated from the Carabao Cup after a 3-0 loss to Newcastle United
  • Eddie Howe's men got their revenge for last season's final defeat to Erik ten Hag's team
  • Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp was astounded when he heard of United's result

Manchester United are the meme team of England right now, but not even Jurgen Klopp expected that they would be totally outclassed and beaten by Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup.

The two sides met again in the competition after United beat Newcastle 2-0 in last season's final to end their six-year trophy drought.

Eddie Howe's men got their revenge with a 3-0 win, their first at Old Trafford, per ESPN UK. The Red Devils recorded back-to-back 3-0 losses after they suffered a loss by the same scoreline in the Manchester derby on the weekend.

Chelsea await the Toon in the quarter-final after the Blues beat EFL Championship side Blackburn Rovers 2-0 at Stamford Bridge in the other round of 16 game.

Klopp's reaction to United's loss

Liverpool beat AFC Bournemouth to progress to the next round thanks to Darwin Nunez's brilliant goal, and during his press conference, Klopp was informed of their Northwest rivals' defeat.

As seen in a video shared by Hayters TV, his reaction was a surprising one, leaving fans on social media in stitches at how much he was in disbelief over what he had just heard.

His team's progress in the competition hands them a home tie in the quarter-final against London side West Ham United, a team they faced in the Premier League this season and beat 3-1.

United's poor start to the season continued, and ten Hag must find an answer or risk being fired with the team breaking negative record after negative record.

Per Opta, they have lost more than eight of their first 15 games for the first time since 1962, while they have also lost more than 50% of their first 10 home games for the first time since 1930.
