Newcastle United are favourites to sign Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe.

Chronicle Live reports Newcastle are in pole position to sign Tuanzebe on loan.

The 23-year-old's camp are 'delighted' by the interest from Steve Bruce's side.

A deal is yet to be done but it's understood that the Red Devils aren't against the idea of loaning their centre-back out.

Tuanzebe is set to feature as United welcome Brentford to Old Trafford in a pre-season friendly tonight.
