Newcastle United fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Miguel Almiron against Manchester United at the weekend.

Almiron was in action for Newcastle in their Premier League game against United at St. James’ Park on Sunday.

The 25-year-old attacking midfielder started the match and played for 90 minutes, as Steve Bruce’s side won 1-0.

The Paraguay international played a role in the goal for the Magpies, worked hard and was always around to make things happen.

However, Almiron could have done better creatively and also did not take a good chance to score.

According to WhoScored, against United at St. James’ Park on Sunday, the attacking midfielder took three shots, and had a pass accuracy of 75%.

So far this season, the former Atlanta United star has made eight appearances in the Premier League for the Magpies, but he has yet to score a goal or provide an assist, according to WhoScored.

Newcastle fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Almiron, and they seem to be changing their opinion about him and are showing more patience.

Don’t understand the obsession with almiron needing a goal, he’s blatantly an attacking midfielder not a striker. Another good game today in my opinion, always an outlet and grafts his pods off #nufc

Just finished watching Matty Longstaff’s goal for the hundredth time. The move started with a great ball from Almiron. He was active and dangerous all day. This is why I don’t care if he never scores a goal. Great game by all the boys.#NUFC

Didn’t really appreciate the part Almiron played at the start of the move that led to the winning goal today.
Outstanding composure to find an out ball with such accuracy under pressure.

Was actually a great goal that should show the way forward for #NUFC over the coming weeks.

Can we just take a moment to acknowledge the delightful pass from Almiron to ASM to get us from defending a corner to setting up Longstaff jr #nufc

Seems like Almiron has taken over from Perez as the man for #nufc fans to whinge at. He needs a goal, his confidence is clearly low – the last thing he needs is loads of people moaning and groaning when he misses a chance. Not like he’s missing open goals, just not quite falling.

What gives me hope about #Almiron is that he always manages to create/get himself into a great position for at least one GREAT chance per game. Don’t do that by being a bang average footballer in a team which sits back with less than 35% average possession. @NUFC360 @NUFC_Index

It’s amasing some are so ready to jump on players when we lose but those same people disappear when we win, it’s nice to hear someone say something positive about Almiron I like the lad just needs to settle down a little goals will come
