Warren Barton has given his take on Twitter on reported bust-up between Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce and winger Matt Ritchie.

According to a report in The Telegraph this week, Ritchie was not happy with Bruce for singling him out for the goal that Newcastle conceded against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The report has claimed that the 31-year-old Scottish winger has apologised for his outburst.

Former Newcastle defender Barton has given his take on the report on Twitter, as shown below.

Staying united

Newcastle are in real danger of going down to the Championship at the end of the season, and things need to improve soon.

The Magpies are 17th in the Premier League table at the moment with 26 points from 26 matches, three points above third-from-bottom Fulham, who have played 27 games.

Newcastle do have a strong team, but with Allan Saint-Maximin and Miguel Almiron out with injury until April, it is going to be hard for the Magpies.

It is important that the Newcastle squad remain united in their quest to escape the dreaded drop to the Championship at the end of the season.
