Bruno Guimaraes was very quick to show love to Newcastle United's goal-scoring hero tonight on social media.

Last season Bruno Guimares gave Joe Willock a brilliant Brazilian nickname after the £25million former Arsenal man put in a strong display in a 2-1 win over Wolves.

At Old Trafford last night, Joe Willock made his return to the starting line-up for Newcastle for the first time since May, and although they didn't share the pitch during the game as Bruno replaced Willock after the hour mark, Bruno was delighted to have his midfield partner back in action.

Willock: Back in the game, back in the goals

Joe Willock bagged the third goal of the game for Newcastle as they humbled Manchester United in front of their own fans, and the 24-year-old took to Instagram after to share his delight with his followers.

"No better feeling than being back out there"

Willock was delighted to be back and Bruno was straight in with his famous nickname for him: "Willockinho".

Willock's return gives Eddie Howe options

It's fantastic having Willock back in the side and seeing that he hasn't lost his goalscoring touch is an added bonus.

Now we can't wait to see Bruno, Joelinton and Willockinho tearing teams apart again. Although that does mean there's no room for Sean Longstaff who has been excellent this season.

Man, Eddie Howe's job is hard.
