Newcastle fans are missing Aleksandar Mitrovic this morning after the 23 year-old scored both goals in Serbia’s 2-0 friendly win over Nigeria.

There’s more than a few reasons why Newcastle fans would feel infuriated by their club, but the loaning out of Aleksandar Mitrovic has to be one of the more peculiar moves in the club’s recent history.

In a season where the Magpies are struggling to score goals, Mitrovic was sent to Fulham on loan in January, and has now scored nine times in his last 12 games for club and country.

The move has completely split fans. There are those who think loaning the 23 year-old was a dreadful mistake, there are fans who think it was a win for all parties, and there are even some who want the Serbian sold.

Of course, if Newcastle stay up and Mitrovic comes back to the club in red hot form, it can only mean good things for both player and club.

Still, plenty of fans are annoyed about the decision to loan Mitrovic out, after he scored two lovely goals in Serbia’s win on Tuesday.
