Newcastle United defender Dan Burn has hailed 'world class' Bruno Guimaraes and 'unplayable' Miguel Almiron ahead of the Magpies' trip to Old Trafford to face Manchester United. The South American duo have scored five of Newcastle's last nine goals between them, with Almiron's goal against Brentford adding to his brace at Fulham.
Brazilian midfielder Guimaraes notched twice in Saturday's 5-1 success over the Bees, his first goals of what has been an injury-hit season so far. However, now back to full fitness, United's No 39 caught the eye of fans and pundits alike with another dominant display.
Geordie defender Burn has been a key part in Newcastle's transformation under Howe, stabilising the defence and providing a solid platform for the attacking players to build on. And he says he feels a big part of his job is getting the ball to the likes of Bruno and Almiron and letting them get on with it.
