Newcastle United boss Rafael Benitez has reportedly been frustrated with his side’s lack of additions.

Rafael Benitez has said the five words many Newcastle United fans had been dreading in the Independent, where he has refused to commit his immediate future to the club.

Benitez is widely expected to leave Newcastle at the end of the season, when his contract expires.

However, it seems that Benitez is thinking of walking away ahead of schedule at Newcastle now.

The Magpies have failed to bring in any signings so far this month, despite Benitez stressing the need for new additions.

It is understood that Benitez is very frustrated with Newcastle’s failure to act in the transfer market.

And when asked whether he would be Newcastle manager until the end of the season, he said: “No, I cannot guarantee anything.”

If Benitez was to walk away from Newcastle now it would be a crushing blow to the Tyneside club.

Newcastle are currently floating just above the relegation zone, but if Benitez was depart then relegation fears would only be set to rise.
