Manchester United are stepping up their pursuit of Newcastle United left-back Lewis Hall, identifying the England defender as the ideal long-term successor to Luke Shaw.
The Red Devils are accelerating their plans and are preparing a first official offer for Hall, who has emerged as the club’s priority target to strengthen the left side of the defence.
Softfootball understands Lewis Hall is open to leaving Newcastle United should the right opportunity arise, although the Magpies are expected to demand a significant fee for one of their brightest young defenders.
The 21-year-old remains under contract until 2029 and is valued at around €70 million, meaning negotiations could prove challenging.
The latest development comes after Marcus Rashford confirmed he will remain at Manchester United for the new season. we can also confirm the England international will wear the No. 11 shirt following his return from Barcelona.
Rashford also thanked Barcelona and their supporters on Instagram, expressing his appreciation for his time in Spain after enjoying a successful loan spell with the Catalan club.
With Rashford staying and United now targeting Lewis Hall, the club continue reshaping their squad ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.
