Newcastle United interested in Manchester United duo

Newcastle United are reportedly looking at the prospect of signing Brandon Williams and Jesse Lingard on temporary deals from Manchester United.

The Magpies are currently in mid-table in the Premier League and they currently have an eight-point cushion to the relegation places.

Still, manager Steve Bruce is aiming to strengthen the squad further and 90min claims that they are looking into loan deals for Williams and Lingard.

Williams has fallen down the pecking order this term with the likes of Luke Shaw and Alex Telles preferred ahead of him for the left-back role.

The United graduate was recently the subject of a loan approach from Southampton which was rejected and the Magpies are likely to make an offer of their own.

Elsewhere, Lingard has been out-of-favour for the Red Devils for the best part of 10 months and it remains to be seen whether he is convinced to join the Magpies.

While United would ideally prefer to offload Lingard permanently, they may accept a loan move until the summer. He will enter the final year of his contract in July.
