Townsend grateful to McClaren for bringing him to Newcastle

Published on: 29 March 2016

Newcastle United winger Andros Townsend is grateful to former manager Steve McClaren.

Rafa Benitez replaced McClaren earlier this month, but Townsend revealed he wouldn’t be at United had it not been for the latter.

Townsend told the Evening Chronicle: “It’s been fantastic with Rafa coming in, but it’s no secret I was disappointed when McClaren left.

“They paid a lot of money to get me here and it was Steve who put his faith in me to get me here.

“This is football, and you need to move on.”
