Man United 'to move for Longstaff this week'

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.
