Manchester United are interested in signing Newcastle’s young midfielder Sean Longstaff, Sky Sports News understands.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen on adding young, home-grown talent
during the summer transfer window as he looks to rebuild the squad.
Newcastle say they have had no approach from United and that 21-year-old Longstaff is not for sale.
Longstaff signed a new contract at St James’ Park in December that
runs until 2022, but Sky Sports News understands that was to reward him
for first breaking through into the first team.
Now that
he has become a more regular feature under Rafael Benitez,
there are expected to be discussions over another new deal this summer,
which would bring him more in line with the salaries of other first
team members.
Longstaff made nine appearances during his debut season in the
Premier League, but it was cut short after the central midfielder
suffered a knee ligament injury during Newcastle’s defeat to West Ham.
The young prospect, who came through the club’s academy system,
scored on his debut in a 2-0 victory against Burnley in February.
