Jetro Willems scored against one of the big boys again and continues to make a compelling case for United to turn his loan move into a permanent one.

There is a clause in the deal to do just that, having been negotiated with Eintracht Frankfurt before the player joined the club on loan in the final week of the summer transfer window.

The clause, which was negotiated was on the back of an injury-hit season with Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt, is £10million – or 11million Euros. German outlet Kicker reported the clause back in October and claimed that Newcastle appear “keen” to do the deal.

United have already paid a loan fee for Willems , who was signed in the final days of the summer transfer window, but will regard £10million as a decent bit of business for a player who joined the German side for around £7million.

Talk of the Magpies doing the deal now is probably premature: they will wait to see how the rest of the season pans out and, of course, survival in the Premier League is a must if they’re to continue spending in the transfer windows.

But with another goal under his belt on Saturday, it's safe to say he has made a good impression on Tyneside.
