Krul impressed at the weekend during Manchester United's 1-1 draw with the Toon at Old Trafford, and afterwards Pardew reserved special praise for the shot stopper.<br />

Pardew said: "Krul has a long way to go. Shay Given was at the top of the tree for Newcastle for many years.<br />

"Tim has a great future in front of him if he keeps his feet on the floor, works on his game. Who knows what he can achieve?"
