Manchester United are genuinely interested in Newcastle United’s up-and-coming left-back Lewis Hall.The Red Devils are preparing themselves for what should be an eventful summer transfer campaign. They are already on the cusp of securing their first signing in Atalanta’s Ederson.DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL STRETTY NEWS APP FOR ALL THE LATEST UPDATES & BREAKING NEWS – STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE! ON APPLE & GOOGLE PLAYWhile the 26-year-old Brazilian will only be the first of several midfielders to land in Manchester, the club is also planning to address other departments, especially the left-back role.Man Utd genuinely interested in Lewis HallThis season, Luke Shaw impressively started in all of Man Utd’s 38 Premier League contests. However, the experienced full-back certainly cannot replicate this feat next term, especially following the club’s return to the Champions League.Therefore, United have been pondering on their left-back options, with Hall considered amongst the most popular names on the shortlist.The 21-year-old is a Chelsea youth product who has been playing his football at St.James Park since 2023. He initially arrived on loan, before sealing a £28 million permanent switch the following year.The Slough native has now established himself as an important player for the Magpies, who have him under contract until June 2029. He has also earned four caps with the senior English national team.Want more Stretty News coverage?

Nevertheless, Hall arguably combines both.The Englishman is only 21, but has already made 102 appearances for Newcastle, in addition to 12 with Chelsea’s first team. And the best part about him is that he’s all too familiar with the Premier League, so he shouldn’t find any trouble adjusting to his new surroundings.That being said, it should be remembered that United only have around £250 million to spend this summer, and the majority of this transfer kitty will be consumed by the midfield revamp.Therefore, it remains to be seen if INEOS are willing to spend £50 million or more on Hall, while more cost-efficient left-backs could become available on the market.

BACK David Tully May 28th 2026 Man Utd have had a “delegation” in Italy to negotiate several transfers, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano. While talks were held to secure the signature of Atalanta’s Ederson, Romano suggested that the Red Devils also had discussions with the representatives of another prominent midfielder: “Basically, what they did is fly to Italy with the delegation to start conversations on several topics. Don’t forget that, for example, the agents of [Sandro] Tonali are in Italy, and there are more things they can discuss, for example, exits for the summer transfer window. “So, Man United had several meetings; we know they are always very active in the Italian market.” Tonali could be the next deal Man Utd pursue It does look like the Red Devils are the team most actively pursuing a move for the Newcastle United midfielder. Other Premier League teams, including rivals Manchester City and Arsenal, have also considered making bids for Tonali. However, it appears that the most recent discussions have been with Michael Carrick’s side. Agreeing a fee with Newcastle may still be the biggest obstacle to overcome. The Magpies have recently agreed to sell Anthony Gordon to Barcelona for €80m (£69m), so they are not desperate to offload other players. Ederson may secure his move by the end of the week It seems as if the Atalanta star’s transfer to Old Trafford will be finalised over the coming days. United have reportedly agreed a fee in the region of €45m (£39m), including add-ons. Ederson is not expected to be the club’s marquee midfield signing for the summer, but it is believed Carrick is a fan of his versatility, and having a player with his skillset in the first-team squad should prove useful.
