Manchester United fans left 'fuming' over Sean Longstaff transfer chase as rivals Man City sign Rodri

Manchester United fans are hitting out at their club's transfer targets after watching rivals Manchester City break yet another transfer record - being particularly harsh on Newcastle United's Sean Longstaff.

City completed the signing of Rodri from Atletico Madrid for a club record £62.8m, and some Red Devils fans haven't taken the news well.

Taking to social media fans have, unfairly Newcastle United fans would argue, questioned the club's direction - holding Longstaff up as an example.

Newcastle fans would of course love to see the midfielder stay on Tyneside after the 21-year-old impressed during nine appearances last season, but reports suggest that MUFC officials are confident of securing a deal.

However the arrival of Rodri - who spent only a year at Atletico - has prompted some fans to react rather negatively to Manchester United's pursuit of Longstaff.  

Don't worry though, Newcastle fans would love to keep him - and have themselves thought up some extreme ways to do that.

There's no way back for us...
