Danny Rose addresses his form for Newcastle United

Former Sunderland defender Danny Rose has spoken about his form for loan club Newcastle United.

The England international joined the club on loan in January after being sidelined at Tottenham Hotspur.

Rose needed to play games ahead of Euro 2020. However, the 29-year-old doesn’t believe he is yet playing to his potential at St James's Park.

Speaking to BBC Radio Newcastle, Rose said: “I feel great that I’m getting a run of games, (but) I still don’t feel as if I’m playing to my potential. I expect a lot more from myself, I know the manager expects a lot more from me.”

United head coach Steve Bruce, however, believes Rose – who had a loan spell at Sunderland early in his career – and fellow loanee Nabil Bentaleb will get sharper week by week. Bruce said: “I do believe they’ll be better for the games. They'll be fine.”
