United completed the signing of Aaron Wan-Bissaka over the weekend.
Wan-Bissaka becomes Solskjaer’s second signing of the summer, after the arrival of Daniel James from Swansea.
The Norwegian now wants to add a midfielder to his ranks and is eager to get the signing secured as soon as possible.
United’s squad return to pre-season July 8 and Solskjaer has asked the Red Devils to meet Newcastle’s asking price for Longstaff.
Newcastle want £20million as well as add-ons for Longstaff and United have made the 21-year-old their priority midfield target, ahead of Sporting Lisbon’s Bruno Fernandes and Tottenham’s Christian Eriksen.
