Micky Quinn Urges Rafael Benitez to Unleash Newcastle Attacking Partnership Against Brighton

Former Newcastle striker Micky Quinn has called for Rafa Benitez to start Yoshinori Muto and Salomon Rondon up front together in their Premier League fixture against Brighton.

Newcastle are yet to win in the league and Quinn feels starting the two forwards together could be the key to that first victory.

Speaking in a Q&A for the Chronicle on Monday, Quinn said: “I liked what I saw from Yoshinori Muto at Old Trafford. He’s busy, he makes good runs, and he looks a threat. I’d like to see him start again."

He went on to explain how the Japan international could work well with Rondon as part of an attacking duo, saying: “And, if Salomon Rondon is fit, I’d start him too.
