Newcastle defender Javier Manquillo is heading for a reunion with an old manager.

The 29-year-old full-back is set to play for ex-Magpies coach Rafa Benitez again.

Per The Mail, Manquillo is heading to Celta Vigo, where the legendary Spanish coach is in charge.

Manquillo has not played in any competition for Newcastle this season, as he is well down the pecking order.

Manager Eddie Howe is happy to let him leave, even on a free transfer, as he seeks regular football.

He played six times last season, with only two of those games coming from the start.
