Newcastle United starlet Sean Longstaff has said he was "flattered" by Manchester United's reported interest in his signature.
The 21-year-old was reportedly one of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's targets last summer, but an official bid from the Red Devils failed to materialise.
Speaking to Martin Hardy of The Times (h/t the Daily Express' Adam Powers), Longstaff said he remains grounded after seeing his name linked with a switch to Old Trafford while he was recovering from injury:
"You're seeing stuff about yourself on the telly and the next day I'm in the gym and I can't even step on to a box that's the height of my shin, or get up the stairs without grabbing something.
