Willems’ strike against Liverpool at Anfield last season was voted as the club’s goal of the 2019/20 campaign. The defender – whose loan was cut short by a season-ending injury – has spoken about the backing he had on Tyneside.

“I had a great time,” said Willems. “I was feeling great, and you could see that on the pitch. The support they gave me, and confidence had in me, and people at the club, the coach (Steve Bruce) ... I had a great time. It was sad that it ended like that.”

Willems, 26, keen to one day return to United, is now closing in on a return to training at Eintracht Frankfurt.

“The most important thing is to be back on the pitch and to show that I’m back,” said Willems. “I don’t know where it is. We’ll see.”
