Manchester United are preparing for a major squad revamp this summer, and one name back on their radar is Newcastle United midfielder Sean Longstaff.
The 27-year-old was previously linked with a move to Old Trafford during the Ole Gunnar Solskjær era, and he has now emerged as a cut-price transfer option for Rúben Amorim, who is expected to reshape United’s squad ahead of the 2024/25 season.
With Newcastle potentially needing to offload players due to Financial Fair Play (FFP) constraints, Longstaff could be available for a reasonable fee. His Premier League experience, versatility, and work rate make him a strong candidate for United’s midfield rebuild.
Amorim, widely expected to take over at Old Trafford, will likely prioritize adding depth and quality in midfield, and Longstaff’s ability to play as a box-to-box or defensive midfielder fits the profile United are looking for.
United are expected to offload several players in the upcoming transfer window, with midfield being a key area for reinforcements. With uncertainty surrounding the futures of Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, and Scott McTominay, Longstaff could be a smart, cost-effective signing to bolster the squad.
As Manchester United gear up for a crucial summer, Longstaff’s potential arrival could be a sensible move as they aim to strengthen their midfield and build a squad capable of competing for top honours.
