The Geordie told The Journal, "I didn't know for definite that this would happen, but it's hardly a big surprise.

"I had heard rumours and it's disappointing they proved to be true.

"People might think I made a mistake by coming home, but which Geordie wouldn't have signed for Newcastle for the second time, given the chance?

"I know plenty of players who would kill to be in my position and, as far as I'm concerned, this is not the end of my United career."
