A third added: "Man United wasting time? 20 mins?"

A Newcastle United fans said: "Man United time wasting didn’t they moan about us doing that before the cup final."

Man United time-wasting against Liverpool comes after Ten Hag described Newcastle as 'annoying' ahead of the Carabao Cup final.

He warned his players and the match officials about their tactics.

"I think it’s a great team with a clear philosophy about how they want to play the game," he said. "The key word is intensity. They do really well. They’re an annoying team to play against, so we have to find a way to win.

"They try to annoy you. We have to make sure that we play our game and we focus on our game."
