Speaking to ESPN, Munoz said: “I have to do my thing. It’s 18 months, but I’m going to enjoy it. This is a dream that I know is possible. I’m not under pressure. I have a different mentality – I’m calm.”

Meanwhile, Under-23 captain Elliot Anderson put Newcastle ahead from the penalty spot before the break, but Stoke struck three times after the break. Adam Wilson gave United hope with a late strike, but the home side couldn’t conjure up an equaliser in the dying minutes.
