The winger’s future on Tyneside remains very uncertain, as Queens Park Rangers pulled the plug on a deal for the 26-year-old towards the end of last month.
QPR claimed a lack of funds and have striking priorities as the reason why they were no longer keen on a £1.5m deal.
The Londoner did not want to leave United in January and has always indicated in the past he is keen to fight for his place at St James’ Park.
Alan Pardew is stuck between a rock and hard place - he could have pulled the player back to Tyneside at the end of last season when United were down to playing reserves and youth team players, but he said he didn't want him.
That just about said it all.
He obviously doesn't rate the player, but he is stuck with him until someone comes in with a bid.
Alan Pardew: “Has Wayne a future here?
“Wayne is still a Newcastle United player and he is under contract.
“He comes back on Monday. After that we will just have to go from there.”

FOREWORD BY FAIRS CUP HERO JOHN McNAMEE
Sports Journalist Richie Everson: "At last a book that the fabulous Newcastle United fans can relate to. It's informative, all the facts and figures are there, plus the 120 match reports from all the fixtures ... but it is the articles by the supporters that amazed me.
"I went to many of those games, and this is the only book I can honestly say 'hits the nail on the head'!
"Yes we know the results and the scorers, but some of the facts in this book had me so wrapped up in it I couldn't put it down.
"Was Benny Arentoft cup-tied when he played in the final? Big Wyn and his battle with John McGrath; McFaul scoring a penalty when the crowd had gone home; the trouble in Palermo; it is all amazing stuff.
"I would honestly give this book 10 out of 10."
