The 19-year-old is rewarded for his impressive first few weeks in the Magpies’ first-team by being handed a first call up at international level.

He forms part of the England squad, which also contains ex-United defender Lewis Gibson, who take on Portugal and Iceland later this month.

Longstaff burst on the scene with a debut, match-winning goal against Manchester United and has since started against Chelsea and Wolves.
