UNITED BAULK AS TOON ASK £50m FOR LONGSTAFF

MANCHESTER United have been shocked by Newcastle’s £50million valuation of their local-born 21-year-old midfielder Sean Longstaff. United chief Ed Woodward was quoted the astronomical fee in negotiations at the weekend. United are reluctant to go above £20m. Inter Milan sporting director Piero Ausilio confirmed last night they had made ‘an official approach’ for United striker Romelu Lukaku. DANI ALVES is the surprise name on Pep Guardiola’s radar if Manchester City sell Danilo this summer. Full back Alves, a free agent after leaving Paris Saint-Germain, was set to sign for City two years ago before a late U-turn. Inter Milan and Juventus have both been interested in Danilo, who joined City for £26m after Alves rejected the move in 2017.
