Newcastle fans in love with ‘live wire’ Saint-Maximin as winger tears up Man Utd
ALLAN SAINT-MAXIMIN caused nothing but headaches for Manchester United – and Toon fans hailed the winger for his performance.

One said: “Saint-Maximin absolute live wire and direct. Could be a key player for Newcastle this season.”
Another said: “Saint Maximin been absolutely class for Newcastle. Deserve to win this.”
One added: “Saint-Maximin looks quality.”
Saint-Maximin was unpredictable throughout the game shuffling in and out of the left wing.
