In an online Q&A with the Athletic, former United manager was asked ‘who would you say was your best value signing at Newcastle (Fabian) Schar, (Florian) Lejeune, (Martin) Dubravka?’

Benitez, though, pointed to a loan striker capture as value for money.

He said: “I agree the three of them are quite good signings for the money we paid. Also I would add Rondon was good value as a loan.”
