Sean Longstaff is leaning towards leaving Newcastle United.

The Mirror says Longstaff is considering his future following the shock exit of Rafa Benitez and that's great news for Manchester United.

Sources close to the Toon midfielder wanted by Old Trafford boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirm he is bitterly upset" about Benitez leaving St James Park.

All of which is further encouragement for Man United in their pursuit of Longstaff, 21, who is currently recovering from knee ligament damage sustained in March.

Solskjaer views the Newcastle playmaker as another vital piece in the ongoing overhaul of his United squad after being impressed with his breakthrough season in the Premier League.
