Newcastle United fans left incensed as they claim former Sunderland striker Don Goodman deliberately handed Magpies tricky Carabao Cup draw against Manchester United by looking for No 16 ball in the fourth round pot

Newcastle United fans have reacted angrily to being handed a tough away tie in the Carabao Cup by accusing former Sunderland striker of 'looking at the balls' before drawing them against Manchester United.

The Magpies advanced to the fourth round by beating Treble winners Manchester City 1-0 on Wednesday night.

Eddie Howe's side were handed a repeat of last year's final against Man United in the draw, which followed the match at St James' Park.

The draw was hosted by Sky Sports presenter Emma Saunders, with former Celtic manager Neil Lennon picking out the home sides and Goodman the away teams.
