Newcastle United manager Rafa Benitez has told new signing Yoshinori Muto to stop complaining during matches and accept the decision of the referee.
Muto has made five substitute appearances for Newcastle since joining this summer from Bundesliga side Mainz, and is yet to make a real impact on the team. He has only played a total of 65 minutes in the league this season, with his latest appearance coming in the goalless draw with Crystal Palace this weekend.
After the match, Benitez was asked why Muto is yet to start a Premier League match for the club.
He is quoted by The Shields Gazette as saying:
Wolves have a long way to go to match our achievements... https://t.co/F02cXAOtc1

The Japanese striker signed a four-year contract when he joined the club from Mainz. In his last season in the Bundesliga, Muto netted a respectable ten goals, whilst also creating a further five goals for his teammates.
