Newcastle United attacker Joelinton says he never considered his future as he enjoys the best form of his Magpies career.

Joelinton is determined to help Eddie Howe's team win their fight against relegation.

"I am happy to be at Newcastle," Joelinton told the Daily Mail. "This is what I love to do and I have to be responsible because of it. I will always give my best, in training and on the pitch.

"Eddie trusts my work ethic and this makes me even more comfortable here. He trusts how I play. We'll overcome this situation.

"Criticism is a part of the footballer's job and we have to know how to deal with it. It's never good to see bad reviews but we know that football is about emotion. The only way I could change anything was to keep playing and giving my best during training and games. It's so good to receive good messages from our supporters. I just hope to keep it rolling."

Reflecting on his superb performance against Manchester United, he added: "This was not my first game as a midfielder.

"Against Norwich and in the second half at Leicester, I was there. But it's still new for me.

"I'm doing what the coach asks me and I hope to keep improving. I was happy with our game. Unfortunately, we weren't able to win it."
