Today's Manchester United transfer roundup takes a look at what news has been grabbing the headlines over the last few days. Sean Longstaff is still one of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's top priorities, Jadon Sancho continues to be a major target, whilst the club looks to bring in Nathan Collins to help their defensive woes.

Longstaff amongst the 'British hit list'

Report: According to ESPN, Sean Longstaff is amongst the names on Solskjaer's hit list, as he seeks to recruit young British talent from around the continent. It is not reported how much the Newcastle midfielder would cost, although the United boss is keen to bring him in.

Verdict: It is no surprise to see United linked with so many young English talents, as they so often are. However, the addition of Longstaff may be more than just rumours after the midfielder was heavily linked with the Red Devils throughout the summer.

It is also no surprise to see Solskjaer want to recruit the 21-year-old based solely on the fact he let Ander Herrera and Marouane Fellaini depart so easily without a replacement. As a result, Longstaff would no doubt be a welcomed addition to the United squad, so don't expect this to be the last time you hear about this saga.

Sancho still top of the list

Report: The report from ESPN also states that Sancho still remains a top priority for Solskjaer and the United boss has not been put off by the 19-year-old signing a new bumper deal just a few weeks back. Sancho has been a target for the club for some time and it was confirmed in Amazon's 'All or Nothing' that Dortmund chiefs met with United to discuss a deal for the Englishman over the summer.

Verdict: This looks like one of those transfers that is going to be talked about year after year until either Sancho puts the rumours to bed, or eventually signs. As confirmed in the Amazon show, perhaps the signing could be still on the cards with United yet to replace forwards Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku and therefore still eager to bring him to Old Trafford to help on the right flank.

Although, as alluded to, Sancho signed a new deal in August which will no doubt have bumped up his buyout clause tremendously. Consequently, as much as Solskjaer and the fans desire the move so badly, the reality is he may just be too expensive for the controversial Ed Woodward to even consider.

Solskjaer targets Nathan Collins 

Report: ESPN has reported Solskjaer is attempting to bring in Nathan Collins from Stoke City as the Norweigan looks to bring in several new faces over the next few windows. Irishman Collins is reported to be amongst United's targets as Solskjaer aims to bring in more local talent, as opposed to international.

Verdict: With Chris Smalling on loan in Roma whilst the likes of Eric Bailly, Phil Jones, and Marcos Rojo spend more time in the physio room, Collins would certainly be a welcomed addition at Old Trafford in United's central defence. The 18-year-old only broke into the first-team of Stoke this season and has played sporadically thus far, appearing in 4/7 Championship ties, although he continues to impress for the Potters when given the chance to do so.

Truthfully, when all considered, Collins probably wouldn't offer United anything that academy graduate Axel Tuanzebe couldn't - and even he can't get into the team right now. Therefore, this transfer is not worth pursuing much unless Solskjaer can bag him on the cheap, nor is it one that could happen anyway.
