Manchester United dey reportedly think about signing Lewis Hall, Newcastle and England full-back. Samuel Luckhurst and other reporters yarn am this week, but nothing official don happen yet.
The deal go cost plenty money, but Hall na good young player wey fit help position wey dem need. But e no be top priority for United. Hall get four England caps and don become starting player for Newcastle before e turn 21.
But the 25/26 season na frustrating one for am, and e no make Thomas Tuchel England squad for 2026 FIFA World Cup. Hall don dey Newcastle since 2023, first on loan from Chelsea, then permanent for 2024. E don play 102 matches for the club.
Newcastle no wan lose am, but the wahala for Tyneside fit open door for transfer. David Ornstein report say Eddie Howe go leave Newcastle after five seasons. Howe and Hall share same agent. Matthias Jaissle from Al Ahli likely to replace Howe.
Newcastle don already sell Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali, afta dem don sell Alexander Isak one year ago. Arsenal still dey linked with Bruno Guimaraes. With all this changes, Newcastle fit decide to keep young players like Hall, or dem fit sell am to raise funds and rebuild for new manager.
For United, dem need long-term replacement for Luke Shaw. Right now, Harry Amass na the only natural left-back behind Shaw. Patrick Dorgu dey move to advanced winger role. Shaw still dey play well, but e no get the speed and endurance wey make am dangerous as overlapping wingback before.
Hall fit be the answer, but e go depend on wetin United fit afford. Or better say, wetin dem ready to spend.
