Newcastle's Sean Longstaff hits out at 'disgraceful disrespect' shown to Joelinton after his Man of The Match performance against Manchester United

Sean Longstaff says the abuse Joelinton receives is a 'disgrace' and insists his Newcastle team-mates 'rate' the forward very highly.

The Brazilian played a starring role in Newcastle's 1-1 draw with Manchester United at St James' Park on Monday evening and was subsequently named as the Man of The Match.

Manager Eddie Howe also praised Joelinton for his performance, while Jamie Carragher said the 25-year-old was the best player on the pitch.
