Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce is reportedly likely to make a loan bid for at least one Manchester United player in the coming weeks.

The financial implications of the coronavirus pandemic will likely leave many Premier League clubs prioritising temporary additions over permanent deals.

With some of the bigger clubs in the top flight looking to reduce their playing squad, it has created a situation where loan signings are likely to be negotiated with teams in the bottom half of the table.

According to 90 min, Bruce is focusing his attention on one of his former clubs, with Brandon Williams and Jesse Lingard said to be on his radar.

Williams is now behind Luke Shaw and Alex Telles in the pecking order at left-back, while Lingard has not made a single first-team appearance all season.

Defender Phil Jones is also of interest to Bruce, and the report suggests that talks have already been held with the hierarchies of the two clubs.
