‘Unbelievable’ forward now wants to join Manchester United instead of Newcastle
Newcastle United have now seen one of their potential summer targets decide against joining them.
It has been a slow start to the summer window on Tyneside with Eddie Howe left waiting for his first big signing.
The Newcastle boss has seen Lloyd Kelly brought in on a free alongside two backup goalkeepers, but the Toon are yet to really make a splash in the market.
Changes have been going on behind the scenes at St James’ Park with Amanda Staveley and Dan Ashworth both out of the door.
Paul Mitchell has arrived as the latter’s successor as he aims to drive the recruitment on Tyneside.
But the Magpies are now looking set to miss out on one of the players they were making an ambitious move for.
Exciting talent set to choose Manchester United over Newcastle
Newcastle came into the summer on the back of a difficult 2023/24 campaign which saw injuries really hinder their progression.
Champions League football was on display at St James’ briefly but Newcastle have failed to land any form of European football for the upcoming campaign.
But that is not stopping the Toon from aiming for some big names with Newcastle having been linked with a move for Nico Williams.
There is, however, one player who is not expected to make the move to Tyneside now this summer.

According to Fabrizio Romano, 16-year-old Arsenal striker Chido Obi Martin is looking likely to join Manchester United this summer.
The ‘unbelievable‘ youngster visited the Red Devils on Friday with a decision set to be made on his future soon.
But it was not just Newcastle who were also interested with Bayern Munich, AS Monaco and Eintracht Frankfurt all in the mix.
Reliable journalist David Ornstein has also reported Obi Martin has decided to join Manchester United.
Newcastle sent warning by Eddie Howe
For a number of the Premier League’s top sides, it has been a quiet start to the window with only really Aston Villa and United making big moves out of the top eight from last season.
However, Newcastle are now just days away from jetting off on their pre-season tour of Japan and there is still no real summer addition to land at the club.
Howe has now issued a message to the club’s owners on providing him the backing he needs to take the club forward.
“As long as I feel supported by the football club and free to work in the way that I want to work, that’s the crucial thing,” he told after being linked with the England job.
Clearly, this is a message from Howe that he wants the club to act in the manner which they are expected to following their takeover in 2021.
