Newcastle boss Eddie Howe said revenge is not on his mind ahead of Wednesday's League Cup trip to Manchester United for a repeat of last season's final.

Howe's side were beaten 2-0 at Wembley in February as Newcastle's agonisingly long wait for a first domestic trophy, stretching back to 1955, was extended for at least another season. Erik ten Hag's team have been disappointing this season and were brushed aside 3-0 in the Manchester derby at the weekend. But Howe was adamant that rubbing salt into United's wounds and gaining vengeance was not top of his priority list.

"That's not our emotion as I sit here now. Our emotion is just to try to prepare and win the game. One win and we're into the quarter-final of the competition," he said on the eve of the fourth round tie.
