The Barnsley defender, 18, had been tipped to complete a £1m move to Old Trafford this weekend following a three-day trial.

But The Sun on Sunday claim Magpies chiefs have got in touch with the League One club to discuss a deal.

Swansea have also been linked with full-back Holgate, who made his Tykes debut last season.

Holgate racked up 20 appearances for Barnsley last season as they failed to secure a return to the Championship and has less than a year left on his current contract.

Newcastle are plotting a number of ambitious swoops this summer and have already added Dutch international Georginio Wijnaldum to their ranks.
