Fans of Newcastle United have been reacting to a post on Twitter, in which Federico Fernandez thanks a Newcastle fan for helping him with his car.
In his post, the Newcastle defender quote-tweets a fan who shared a picture of himself with Fernandez alongside Martin Dubravka and Jamaal Lascelles, before the defender commented: “You look really good in the back four, mate. Thanks for the help.”
In reaction to his post, fans of the club have flocked to have their say on the matter, with many suggesting that it is great to see players interacting with fans, while others have taken the opportunity to question the centre-back about Newcastle’s ongoing takeover bid.

In summary, Fernandez’s post on Twitter seems to have, at least temporarily, taken the Newcastle fans’ minds off their club’s ongoing takeover bid, which at present, is still in the hands of the Premier League.
