Asked if a deal had been agreed with Longstaff, United’s head coach said: “No, but I anticipate that we can hopefully we can come to a successful conclusion soon on that.”

Longstaff spoke about his future last month. The 24-year-old said: “I’m just focusing on trying to be the best footballer I can every day, and hopefully that’ll be here. If it’s not, it’s not. I’m just focusing on being the best I can be.”
