'£120m and he is yours': Newcastle United fans issue price to Manchester United for Sean Longstaff


Longstaff broke into Rafa Benitez's side in the second half of the season after a successful loan at Blackpool last term.
The Newcastle-born player made eight successive Premier League starts and scored two goals for the club before suffering a knee injury in early March - ending his season early.

Hide AdA former Kilmarnock loanee, Longstaff is reportedly working through his summer in a bid to be fit for the beginning of the season.
But the Manchester United link has prompted a mixed reaction amongst Magpies fans.
Some Toon supporters don't think owner Mike Ashley would make much of an effort to keep Longstaff should a big-money bid be lodged.
Others believe a move to Old Trafford this summer would be too soon in the youngsters career.
Here's how Newcastle fans reacted to the news:

@stevewraith: "Why would he join a team that will be lower than #nufc next season"
@garfbobt: "Nice round number of £150 million...and throw in Rashford."
@agbnufc: "Why would we sell now he will increase in value 10x over in a few years"
@kmolsen26: "£120m and he is yours"
