Manchester United are eyeing a move to sign Newcastle United left-back Lewis Hall, as Fichajes report on a possible £173m transfer plan for the Red Devils.
United kept their powder dry in the January transfer window, which is hardly a surprise given the lack of value that usually arises in the winter market. The Manchester club are also unsure who is going to be in charge of the side heading into the 2026/2027 season, with Michael Carrick only hired on an interim basis earlier this month.
If the Manchester club want to be competing for the top four and trophies regularly, then there's no doubt they need some more additions in the summer transfer window. After failing to spend in January, the Red Devils could have a healthy transfer kitty for later this year, and it's shaping up to be an exciting window, especially if their current form in the Premier League continues.
Man Utd Have Huge Summer Transfer Plan

According to a report from Fichajes, United have devised a plan to spend in the region of £173m on three new additions in the summer transfer window. Newcastle United left-back Hall has been identified as a key target for the Red Devils to compete with Luke Shaw, and the young defender would likely make that position his own very soon.
It's claimed that Hall's arrival could see Patrick Dorgu pushed into a more advanced position, with the left-back enjoying some impressive performances further up the pitch this season.
At 21 years old, Hall, described as 'tremendous' by Breaking The Lines, isn't the finished product just yet, which is an incredibly exciting thought considering the performances he's already producing for Newcastle. Whether the Magpies would be willing to sell him remains to be seen, but he might need convincing to stay if their form continues.

Manchester United currently sit in the top four, meaning they are set to qualify for Champions League football as things stand. Newcastle, on the other hand, are sat in 11th place in the Premier League table, eight points behind the Red Devils.
If Carrick's side qualify for the Champions League and Newcastle don't, then a move to Old Trafford could become quite attractive for Hall. It might not be cheap to get him out of the North East club, but there's no doubt he could be tempted to depart.
