Manchester United are growing increasingly confident of signing Sean Longstaff.
Metro says Rafa Benitez's departure from the club has significantly boosted the chances of Longstaff making the same move.
Benitez was adamant that Longstaff would remain at the club next season.
But now the Spaniard has departed, the 21-year-old midfielder has begun to question his future.
Newcastle wants around 30million for Longstaff and United are willing to push their 25m valuation.
