Newcastle United supporters don’t have too much to cheer about right now.

The Magpies were thrashed 5-0 at the King Power Stadium by Leicester City at the weekend, and both the manager and his squad have come in for huge criticism off the back of the defeat.

Steve Bruce put the final scoreline down to an early surrender by his players, which suggests a big mentality problem.

He will need to turn things around quickly, with supporters growing angrier and angrier, and a win against Manchester United before the next international break will be vital.

One man who could be key in the team getting a result against the struggling Red Devils is Allan Saint-Maximin, the maverick summer signing from Nice.

The French winger has offered glimpses of his exciting ability following his £16.5 million transfer (BBC Sport), and some fans feel he could be the difference-maker going forwards.

Saint-Maximin appears determined to raise fans’ spirits and took to social media to upload a video clip of a goal he scored in training.

In it, the 22-year-old collects the ball on the wing and proceeds to cut inside and take on several of his teammates before finishing confidently into the corner of the goal.

Saint-Maximin’s brilliant solo goal is a real reminder of what he can bring, and some fans called on the exciting forward to save their side from a crisis.
