Sean Longstaff insists he will obey “everything” Eddie Howe tells him to do at Newcastle United. In an interview with The Times, the 24-year-old eulogised his manager and the impact he has had at St James’ Park.
Eight months ago, a despondent Magpies squad were winless and hurtling towards Premier League relegation. Critics questioned whether Howe was the right man to take charge due to his attacking football philosophy.
However, the naysayers were quickly silenced as the 44-year-old inspired a drastic turnaround on Tyneside. Newcastle finished a staggering 14 points clear of the relegation zone - despite being favourites for the drop at Christmas.
