Man Utd Linked With Sean Longstaff Because That's Where We Are at Now Apparently

Manchester United have been linked with a summer approach for Newcastle United midfielder Sean Longstaff as the Old Trafford club continues to make a point of targeting young domestic talent to rebuild their ailing squad.

United are already heavily linked with the likes of Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Daniel James over the more established household names the club has targeted in recent years, with reported interest in Longstaff seemingly a continuation of this new transfer policy.

The news that United are supposedly looking at Longstaff comes from Sky Sports.

The 21-year-old, who spent 2017/18 on loan with Blackpool in League One, broke into Rafa Benitez's Newcastle team as a substitute on Boxing Day and then started eight consecutive Premier League games in January and February before a knee injury ended his season.
