Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce has likened Southampton captain James Ward-Prowse to one former Manchester United teammate.

Bruce says Ward-Prowse is the new David Beckham of free kick taking after his double last weekend.

He said of the Saints' set piece dangerman: “He reminds me, the way he strikes it, the way he takes it the way he kicks it, he's so like a Beckham.

“He's been excellent for years, I've been a big admirer of him for a long time now, He's a really, really top, top midfield player who scores a goal and great attitude.

“He epitomises Southampton, really, and what they're all about. I've got the highest regard for him, he's a really good player, the kid."
