Manchester United targets Alejandro Balde amid Lewis Hall interest

Summary

Manchester United has intensified its search for a left-back, with Newcastle United’s Lewis Hall initially identified as the top target. However, Newcastle is not looking to sell Hall without a substantial offer around £70 million. As a result, United has reportedly turned its attention to Barcelona's Alejandro Balde and Eintracht Frankfurt's Nathaniel Brown. Balde's possible availability comes as Barcelona plans a squad overhaul. Reports indicate that United has previously inquired about Balde's status and remain interested as talks continue.
