Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has made it clear to players Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon that they must choose between staying at the club or pursuing transfer opportunities, particularly amid strong links to Manchester United. Following a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth, which marked Newcastle's eighth loss in their last 11 Premier League games, Howe expressed his frustration with the ongoing speculation surrounding his players. He stated that he expects total commitment from them, saying, "You’re either in or you’re out, there is no middle ground for me." Manchester United is reportedly interested in Tonali as part of a significant squad overhaul, while Gordon is also on their radar, although he prefers a move to Real Madrid. With United needing just six points from their remaining matches to secure a spot in the Champions League, the pressure is mounting for both clubs.
