Manchester United set to target Newcastle defender! The Red Devils eye young star
The coaching reshuffle at Newcastle could pave the way for Manchester United to pursue one of England’s most promising defenders.
Details: Manchester United are considering a move for Newcastle’s 21-year-old left-back Lewis Hall. The player may contemplate a switch following Eddie Howe’s exit, but his final decision will depend on who takes over as the Magpies’ new head coach.

Reports suggest Newcastle’s new manager will be asked to hold private talks with Hall in an attempt to convince him to stay. The club is not interested in selling the young Englishman—especially not to a direct Premier League rival.
Adding to the challenge for Manchester United is the history between the clubs: Newcastle have never sold a player directly to the Red Devils. Any potential deal would require a significant offer and the approval of the new head coach.
The Red Devils are on the lookout for reinforcements at left-back and are also monitoring Fulham’s Antonee Robinson. Hall is seen as the younger, higher-upside option, but no official bid has been lodged with Newcastle yet.
Reminder: He’s staying! Newcastle sign key player to a long-term deal.
