Newcastle United Fans Urge Rafa Benitez to Give Academy Youngster a Chance as Manquillo Disappoints

It seems many Newcastle United supporters are hoping that manager Rafa Benitez will put his faith in youth and give a chance to local lad Jamie Sterry sooner rather than later.

With current right back Javi Manquillo doing everything but impressing against Cardiff City, the Magpies' faithful following have their fingers crossed for the hometown representative, ahead of this weekend's home game against Chelsea.

As regular starter DeAndre Yedlin is out with an injury, the current Newcastle squad has been exposed for its weaknesses. Light in certain areas, the supporters are urging Benitez to give a chance to 22-year-old Sterry.
