Newcastle United's Lewis Hall is reportedly a target for Manchester United, who are looking to strengthen their left-back position. According to The Athletic's Andy Mitten, Manchester United believe Hall would be open to making the move to Old Trafford.
What's the latest on Lewis Hall's future?
Manchester United's reported interest in Hall appears to be based on more than just his performances and ever-increasing value and appeal. The Red Devils are tracking the young left-back and are willing to put on a bid for the Magpies' left back.
Why is Manchester United interested in Lewis Hall?
Mitten confirmed Manchester United's interest in strengthening at left-back, calling it one of their main priorities through the transfer window. The club views Hall as its No. 1 target for the position. "United want a left-back," Mitten said. "Cover for Luke Shaw, someone to push Luke Shaw, given that Luke Shaw may not be able to play as many games as United hope to play this season."
What's Lewis Hall's current situation?
Hall enjoyed a breakout 2025-26 campaign, establishing himself as one of Newcastle's standout performers with 45 appearances across all competitions, scoring one goal and assisting on two more. He remains under a long-term contract and became a cornerstone of Eddie Howe's squad after arriving from Chelsea in 2023.
What's the current situation at Newcastle United?
Newcastle is unlikely to welcome approaches for another established first-team regular, let alone one without a legit backup waiting on the wings, after already losing several high-profile players. Unless Hall himself pushes for a move or makes his preferences clear, the belief inside Old Trafford that he would be interested in them will not turn into a move for at least another year.
