Sean Longstaff has spoken of Eddie Howe's superb knack of keeping squad members who aren't in the Newcastle United team focused this season. In the past at United, there have been cases of unrest from players who aren't getting game-time but Longstaff has credited Howe for his man-management in a season in which the midfielder has not been a guaranteed pick.
Howe has done his best to keep Longstaff involved and he also keen for him to put pen to paper on a four-year deal. Longstaff was rotated for the 1-0 loss to Liverpool having played his part in a 3-0 win at Norwich a week earlier.
He must now wait to see how much football he gets in Sunday's tough trip to Manchester City.
