His technical quality, energy and tactical intelligence are thought to make him an ideal fit for Manchester United as they continue reshaping their squad.

Despite interest from Old Trafford, United are unlikely to have a clear path to the player, with several top European clubs also monitoring his situation closely.

However, reports suggest Tonali could be open to leaving St James’ Park this summer in search of a new challenge and the opportunity to compete at the highest level.

According to Transfermarket, the midfielder has contributed 10 goals and 10 assists in 110 appearances for Newcastle across all competitions.

While those numbers may not appear outstanding, his overall influence in midfield continues to attract admiration from clubs across Europe.
