Newcastle boss Bruce drops Man Utd target Longstaff

Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce has dropped Sean Longstaff for their clash with Norwich City.

Toon manager Bruce has decided to leave out the 21-year-old following the 1-0 defeat to Arsenal, according to The Times.

He will be replaced in the starting XI at Carrow Road by South Korean Ki Sung-yueng, who reportedly voiced his displeasure at being dropped against the Gunners.

Longstaff was arguably the biggest success story of Newcastle's season in the 2018/19 campaign.

His performances caught the eye of Manchester United's Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
