Manchester United are reportedly ready to sign Newcastle United midfielder, Sean Longstaff in the summer transfer window.
Following a terrible Premier League season, the Red Devils would aim to bolster every aspect of their team in the summer.
After winning just 10 of their 29 games this season, Ruben Amorim’s team are presently in 13th place in the Premier League standings with nine games remaining.
After the Portuguese head coach replaced Erik ten Hag in November, the current United team are finding it difficult to adjust to Amorim’s philosophy, tactics, and style of play.

The former Sporting CP boss wants better control in the middle, where the Red Devils frequently loses the ball.
According to Chronicle Live, United want Longstaff, a graduate of the Newcastle academy, who, in 2020 was linked to a move to Old Trafford.
With Sandro Tonali, Joelinton, and Bruno Guimaraes typically forming their three-man midfield, Longstaff is “approaching a crossroads in his Newcastle career given the quality Eddie Howe has in his midfield.”
Additionally, Howe wants to give Lewis Miley, a youngster, more and more chances as he grows, leaving Longstaff, who is 27, aware that his chances of making the first team appear to be restricted.
Longstaff getting stripped and preparing to continue for the final preparation of the Carabao Cup final before Howe altered strategy and substituted Emil Krafth was one of the less well-known events of the match.
Man United and Everton are said to be keeping tabs on the situation involving the Magpies and Longstaff at the Tyneside.
