A new contract no obstacle? Manchester United preparing a record-breaking deal for England defender

The Red Devils' hierarchy have no intention of abandoning their main transfer target for the left flank.

Details: According to TEAMtalk, citing a report from Theatre of Red, Manchester United and INEOS remain internally confident of signing Newcastle and England's 22-year-old left-back Lewis Hall, despite the player's recent contract extension with the Magpies.

Hall only agreed to a new long-term, five-year contract with the St James' Park club in September. Nevertheless, United representatives, whose summer approach was emphatically rejected, continue to keep a close eye on the talented Englishman and plan to return to the negotiating table in 2027. The Manchester club believe an offer in the region of £75 million could convince Newcastle to part ways with their key player.

A potential deal for Hall is expected to become a key part of a major campaign to reshape Michael Carrick's defensive line. United's hierarchy are considering a potential triple reinforcement at the back: alongside the British wide player, the club's scouts are tracking Roma right-back Wesley and are also searching for a leading centre-back with extensive Premier League experience.

It is worth noting that the Chelsea academy graduate has been a regular for Newcastle since the summer of 2024, while the authoritative statistics portal Transfermarkt values the 22-year-old defender at €40 million.
