Manchester United have renewed their interest in acquiring Newcastle United's midfielder, Sean Longstaff. Previously, Longstaff was associated with a potential move to United in 2019 during Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's management, but the club decided against the transfer after being quoted a £50m fee. Currently, Longstaff is nearing the final year of his contract with Newcastle and is experiencing decreased playing time under Eddie Howe due to competition from the preferred midfield trio and emerging talents such as Lewis Miley. Reports suggest that United are pursuing a deal for the 27-year-old, who might be available at a reduced price because of his contract situation and United's need to focus on financially viable targets amid budgetary constraints. Despite his diminished role, Longstaff had a notable last season, scoring six goals and providing two assists across 35 Premier League matches. He acknowledges the importance of securing regular first-team play during this pivotal phase of his career.
