Manchester United have been informed there is "no chance" of securing Lewis Hall from Newcastle United in the final eight days of the transfer window.
The Newcastle left-back is a target for the Red Devils as they look for a long-term successor to Luke Shaw, now 31.
Shaw endured a difficult outing in the 2-0 defeat to newly-promoted Hull City on Saturday as United made a poor start to their 2026-27 Premier League campaign.
Hall has been pinpointed as the ideal signing to secure the left-back position for United's future. However, they have been categorically told not to even attempt a move between now and September 1 when the window shuts.
Despite giving away a vital penalty that enabled Liverpool to salvage a late draw at St James' Park on Sunday evening, Hall produced an impressive display against the Reds and nullified Rio Ngumoha during his 63 minutes on the pitch.
Following the match, Newcastle's new manager Matthias Jaissle was interviewed by Viaplay to discuss the game, with Man United legend Peter Schmeichel on the panel for the Nordic broadcaster.
Towards the conclusion of the conversation, Jaissle was questioned about Newcastle's transfer intentions. He responded: "I think it will be a stressful period for the sporting director. We have some needs, definitely.
"What positions? Because you asked... I was about to tell you but I'll keep it a secret! If you bring players in, maybe there will be also some players out."
Schmeichel said: "We're [Manchester United] looking at your left-back." Jaissle replied: "Pardon?" Before Schmeichel added: "We. We're looking at your left-back."

But Jaissle responded: "No chance. No chance." To which Schmeichel laughed and said: "No chance? Well, you heard it here! No chance."
Newcastle are desperate to hold onto the English defender, having already offloaded captain Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon this summer, as they reshape their squad under the German head coach.
At this stage of the transfer window, 21 year old Hall is virtually impossible to replace, and Jaissle already has his hands full. The Newcastle boss is keen on three or four more signings before the market shuts, with midfield reinforcements a particular priority.
