Transfer: Premier League club asks Man Utd to pay club record fee for midfielder

Manchester United will have to break Newcastle’s transfer record, if they want to buy Sean Longstaff this summer, the Chronicle Live reports.

The Magpies are holding out for a fee which would exceed the club-record £35million, they received from Liverpool for Andy Carroll in 2013.

Although youth product Longstaff is highly-rated at Newcastle, the club is willing to part ways with the 21-year-old if the price is right.

The midfielder is currently being valued at just £6.3million according to Transfermarkt, a website dedicated to football number crunching.

But Newcastle will demand five times that amount for the player, who is still recovering from an injury he suffered in March this year.
