# Manquillo could leave Newcastle on loan – are the Magpies making a mistake?

The immediate future of Javier Manquillo remains up for debate as we approach the final days of the summer transfer window.

It has been suggested by the [Chronicle](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/steve-bruce-still-eyeing-sweden-16695903) that the player could yet leave on loan, despite his impressive performances throughout pre-season.

The Spaniard has been catching the eye in recent weeks and despite that, there are some suggestions he could be on the move – but would it be a mistake on Newcastle’s part?

This would have to be considered as a risky move from Bruce and Newcastle. Manquillo has looked very sharp recently and while you can never read too much into pre-season performances, he has shown himself to be a worthy alternative to DeAndre Yedlin.

While he may not be a player that is going to get fans off their seat, he is a dependable option to call upon with Premier League experience under his belt, something that wouldn’t be guranteed in a potential replacement that could come through the door.

It doesn’t quite add up from a Newcastle perspective unless the player himself is actively pushing for a move, the club should look to prioritise their time and resources into other areas of the squad that still need strengthening.
