SOLSKJAER £30M BID FOR

LOCAL HERO LONGSTAFF

FROM SIMON MULLOCK

in Shanghai

MANCHESTER UNITED are

ready to test Newcastle’s

resolve to keep Sean

Longstaff by making a

£30million bid.

United manager Ole

Gunnar Solskjaer has made

the Geordie a priority

that sum has set the

benchmark.

United reckon

Newcastle’s asking

price is too high for

a player who has

made just 13 senior

appearances at St

James’ Park and who

signing as he looks to

rebuild his team around

the best young

British talent.

But Toon value

the 21-year-old

midfielder at £50m

  United’s capture of full-
  back Aaron Wan-Bissaka for

were ‘just

not funny’

THE

£50M

KID

FROM SIMON MULLOCK

in Shanghai

PEP GUARDIOLA has

blasted suggestions that

Manchester City acted with

arrogance and a lack of

respect during their

pre-season trip to China.

The Premier League

champions have moved on

to Hong Kong after losing

in the final of the Asia

Trophy in Shanghai on

Saturday night.

But criticisms levelled at

the club in an editorial

published by the

government-owned Xinhua

Agency still upset them.

Guardiola has dismissed

claims that City failed to

embrace China – and

promised that the Blues

would return soon.

Speaking on the editorial,

he said “I should say that I

don’t agree with it and also

that it’s false – we had an

incredible time in Shanghai.

“We were committed to

the co-operation you have

to have here in China.

“The people from the

hotel, all the people asking

us to do things – we were

ready to do that. That’s why

TEENAGE sensation Callum

Hudson-Odoi will sign a deal

worth nearly £50million after

pledging his future to Chelsea.

Just six months ago, the

18-year-old handed in a transfer

request to try and force a move to

Bayern Munich, after they put in a

£35m bid for his talents.

But in a major coup for new boss

Frank Lampard, Hudson-Odoi has

been persuaded to forget the

Bundesliga and pen a deal worth

more than £100,000 a week. And
