Man United stars Antony and Diogo Jota clash after defeat at Newcastle

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.

The Red Devils were far from their best during the St. James Park trip as they were unable to see off a resilient Newcastle side to maintain their top-four grip.

Metro UK reports that goals from Joe Willock and Callum Wilson earned Newcastle a 2-0 victory as Eddie Howe’s men got revenge over United after they lost to them in the Carabao Cup final in February.

Newcastle's comfortable win further saw them leapfrog United to third in the Premier League standings as Erik ten Hag's men dropped to fourth.

The Old Trafford dwellers now face the prospect of dropping out of the top four in the event Tottenham Hotspur avoid defeat against Everton on Monday night.

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.
