Manchester United are showing interest in Newcastle United duo Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes but it could get even worse for fans of the Tyneside club.
It is no secret that Manchester United will overhaul their midfield department in the upcoming summer window, and Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes are high up on Ineos’ shopping list.
Tonali and Guimaraes are linked with United as the Red Devils are on track to be able to offer Champions League football next season.
Club captain Bruno Fernandes has already approved of Tonali joining United in the summer, while Casemiro has recommended Guimaraes.

Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes are back-ups to Elliot Anderson
The interest in Tonali and Guimaraes seems concrete, but there is no denying that Elliot Anderson is United’s top target.
United want Anderson more than any other target, but there is rival interest from Manchester City and Bayern Munich.
Anderson is expected to cost £75m this summer, and United are in the race for his signature.
