Newcastle’s Lewis Hall is among a list of talented left-backs being considered by Manchester United ahead of the summer transfer window.
With the 2025/26 Premier League campaign coming to an end this weekend, Manchester United are preparing for a busy transfer window.
United have secured third in the Premier League and will play in the Champions League next season, which means the transfer kitty will receive a welcome boost.
One area of concern is left-back amid fears over being too reliant on Luke Shaw ahead of a season with increased fixture congestion. That has led to United being linked with a move for Newcastle’s Lewis Hall.
Should Man United try sign Newcastle left-back Lewis Hall this summer?
How much is Lewis Hall worth (under contract until 2029)? 🤔
Lewis Hall among leading left-back targets for Man Utd
Hall isn’t the only Newcastle player linked with a move away from St. James’ Park this summer.
Newcastle’s slim hopes of qualifying for Europe in the last week of the season have been put to bed by Chelsea following a 2-1 win over Tottenham on Tuesday night.
It means players like Sandro Tonali and Hall won’t be playing European football next season if they stay at Newcastle.
United may take advantage of Newcastle’s situation by launching a pursuit to sign Hall.
According to FlashScore, Hall is among the leading candidates being discussed by United should the club sign a new left-back.
It is understood that Hall’s profile is considered attractive because of his balance between defensive reliability and attacking contribution.
Moreover, sources say United value his ability to progress the ball, support attacking phases and remain disciplined defensively.
Hall hasn’t always seen eye-to-eye with Eddie Howe, so it will be interesting to see what happens at Newcastle this summer. They could lose several important players.
The report also claims that United are looking at Eintracht Frankfurt defender Nathaniel Brown.
