Newcastle 0 Man United 4: David Moyes revels in Red Devils rout

David Moyes could not hide his delight after Manchester United ran riot at Newcastle and secured a fourth straight away win.

Juan Mata gave the visitors the lead with a 20-yard free-kick into the top corner six minutes before half-time at St James’ Park, before the Spaniard made it 2-0 shortly after the break.

I always believed I had options and a squad of players who could come in and play

Javier Hernandez then turned in a close-range effort before Adnan Januzaj slotted home to complete the rout and move United up to sixth place in the table.

“It was very good. We played well and scored some really good goals. I’m really pleased with the performance,” said Moyes.

“Juan Mata got us a couple of goals and was involved in the final one for Adnan Januzaj as well. Mata was terrific and so were Shinji Kagawa and Darren Fletcher. We had some great performances today.

“I always believed I had options and a squad of players who could come in and play. I’ve said all season that we have a really good squad of players and we showed that today. They played well and deserved the victory.

“The focus could only be on this game but you could see we’ve left a few players at home and not played a few players. We are hoping they will be fit for Wednesday night’s game at Bayern Munich.”
