Manchester United stars Antony and Diogo Jota were involved in a heated moment shortly after their 2-0 humbling defeat against Newcastle on Sunday evening.

Antony, Dalot clash

Meanwhile, it has now emerged that Man United duo Antony and Dalot clashed at some point during their meeting with Newcastle.

According to Metro, tempers flared at different intervals of the match, with Man United stars losing their cool.

At one point, Lisandro Martinez was caught on camera hitting a chair on the subs bench after he was hooked with seven minutes left on the clock.

One other ugly incident involving United was at full-time of the match when Antony and Dalot were seen arguing.

It remains unclear what sparked the disagreement between the duo.

Ten Hag unhappy with United stars

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Erik ten Hag has delivered a stinging criticism of his players following Man United's defeat at Newcastle.

The Red Devils were condemned to a 2-0 loss at St. James' Park as they lost their grip on the top four.

United will be hoping to bounce back to winning ways on Wednesday night when they host Brentford.
