Shelvey, who captained the Magpies in Monday’s game at Aston Villa, opened up for an eight-page interview with the publication ahead of the visit of Manchester City, in which he reflects on a range of topics including his stop-start last 12 months, his improving recent displays and the world of social media.
The 27-year-old – who is United’s joint top goalscorer so far this term – also outlines his desire to extend his stay on Tyneside and discusses the build-up to, and aftermath of, his team’s outstanding win over West Ham in the capital earlier this month.
There is plenty more to enjoy inside the latest issue of UNITED, as midfielder Isaac Hayden discusses board games, Brexit and conquering his fear of lifts in the Toon Tombola.
Bobby Shinton, who spent two years at Newcastle after an unhappy spell with this weekend’s visitors, looks back on his time at both clubs.
Club historian Paul Joannou remembers when the Magpies ended up playing a ‘home’ game at City’s former ground Maine Road in the latest Window Into The Past, while Under-23s skipper Owen Bailey reflects on his fledgling career in High Hopes.
And we briefly look back at the career of Antoine Sibierski, who swapped City for St. James’ Park in 2006, plus head coach Steve Bruce and captain Jamaal Lascelles pen their regular columns.
