Man United Learn Asking Price of Newcastle United's Lewis Hall on Transfer Deadline Day
Newcastle would demand more than £75 million for the 21-year-old, making a late move difficult as United seek left-back cover.
Manchester United are pursuing a deadline-day deal for Newcastle United left-back Lewis Hall, aiming to secure the England international before the summer transfer window closes at 11pm on Tuesday night.
Following Luke Shaw's struggles in Sunday's win over Ipswich Town, club legend Paul Scholes urged United to revive interest in Hall, describing the defender as a "doable" solution for Michael Carrick's squad.
Newcastle maintain a firm stance, with Hall holding three years remaining on his contract; the club demands more than £75m to consider parting with the defender.
Magpies head coach Matthias Jaissle rebuffed suggestions of a move last week, stating there was "no chance" Hall could depart before the window closed.
United may ultimately postpone their bid, mirroring their Carlos Baleba strategy from 12 months ago, as the club weighs immediate costs against long-term squad requirements.
