Manchester United and Manchester City share an interest in Newcastle full-back Tino Livramento, with a 2026 transfer battle possible.

The 22-year-old has been at St James’ Park since a 2023 move from Southampton which was worth an initial £32m.

He has impressed under Eddie Howe, making 88 appearances for the Magpies and winning his first three England caps.

His progress this season has been hampered by a knee injury and he has only managed eight outings in all competitions, but the defender is expected to return later this month.

The Croydon-born defender will then hope to be back in the Newcastle starting line-up and perform well enough to book a spot at next year’s World Cup.
