Manchester United 'to move for Sean Longstaff this week'

Newcastle United are reportedly bracing themselves for an offer from Manchester United for midfielder Sean Longstaff.

Manchester United are reportedly ready to turn their focus to Newcastle United midfielder Sean Longstaff after sealing a deal for Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

The Red Devils splashed out £50m to land Wan-Bissaka from Crystal Palace, three weeks on from signing Swansea City winger Daniel James for a fee rising to £20m.

Longstaff is the next player on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's radar and, according to The Telegraph, a bid is expected to be submitted before the end of the week.

Solskjaer is said to be keen to rejuvenate his squad with young British players and £25m-rated Longstaff, yet to be capped by England at any level, is high on his list of targets.

The 21-year-old made the breakthrough at Newcastle last season, featuring 13 times in all competitions, with nine of those appearances coming in the Premier League.
