Newcastle United are demanding huge money from Manchester United to sell Sean Longstaff.

The Evening Chronicle says the Magpies are holding out for a fee which would exceed the club-record 35million they received from Liverpool for Andy Carroll in 2013.

Managerless Toon, who saw Rafa Benitez step down as boss when his contract expired at the end of last month, recently sold Ayoze Perez to Leicester in a 30m deal.

And although youth product Longstaff is highly-rated at Newcastle, the club is reportedly willing to part ways with another fans' favourite if the price is right.

Longstaff is considering his future following the shock exit of Benitez.

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.
