Newcastle United fans react to seeing Sean Longstaff back at the club's training ground

It's been a tough few days for Newcastle United with the exit of Rafa Benitez and then Ayoze Perez, and the constant speculation over Sean Longstaff isn't allowing many an easy night's sleep.

The footage of Longstaff arriving back for pre-season at Newcastle's Benton training ground was a great sight - especially given the fact that he's still working back from a serious knee injury suffered back in March.

That injury brought his first-team run to a halt but in the nine games he appeared, he made an impression on then manager Benitez , and the fans on the terraces.

But as a young English midfielder, good performances in the Premier League don't go unnoticed. Step forward Manchester United.

The Red Devils are seriously considering making a move for the 21-year-old with some reports claim that boss Ole Gunnar Solskjær wants a deal completed over the next few weeks.

A price tag of £25million has been mooted but as of yet, no official approach has been made.

Watching him arrive back at training, Newcastle fans took to social media and made their feelings clear - they want him to stay, and some even came up with some extreme measures to keep him on Tyneside .

Keep him locked away...

It's the hope...

'Shield him' from Manchester United
