Sean Longstaff is one of two signings Manchester United are aiming to complete within the next fortnight.
I had never seen the New castle United owner coming out to give an interview on cameras at the time.
It is however, the boss came out and spoke about the United's interest in signing the young midfielder Sean Longstaff.
The New Castle United owner Mike Ashley made a rare public statement over the transfer offer sought by Manchester United in interest of the star player.
It was absurd when the boss said to the Manchester's desire that the new castle player is not for sale.
The United's urge to sign Longstaff as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks to overhaul his midfield following the departure of Ander Herrera at the end of last season.
It seems that Manchester are also keeping sporting Bruno Fernandes in the midfield position.
New Castle don't want to sell, with manager Steve Bruce confident of keeping the talented 21-year-old player.
Longstaff has only played nine times for the New Castle first team, but impressed under former boss Rafa Benitez this season and United believe he could improve at the club to fill a defensive midfield berth.
Scot Mc Tominay, Fred and Nemanja Matic are United's current options to play that role if Longstaff does not arrive.
So far this summer, New Castle have broken their transfer record to bring in Brazilian striker Joelinton from Hoffenheim for a reported fee of a about $50m.
Ashely is hoping further new faces will follow him through the door at st. James' Park.
Now i do not understand why Man U are even interested in this player however much he looks very good in the games he has played but i think he isn't good to play for Man U.
Despite Longstaff having only made eight Premier League appearances for New Castle last season.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is looking to strength his squad in several areas this summer with an emphasis on bringing in young players.
It is just that Man U is keeping on signing mediocre players and not signing better player which might not be a good for a big club.
Now what is the difference between Manchester United and arsenal in these transfers.
