Manchester United targets Jorge Salinas amid Lewis Hall pursuit delay

Summary

Manchester United has shifted focus to Jorge Salinas as a solution for their left-back issues, struggling in their pursuit of Lewis Hall. After earlier signings, the club aims to strengthen this position, as Luke Shaw remains the only recognized left-back. Hall has been United's top target, but Newcastle has rejected offers for him. Salinas, a 19-year-old player from Racing Santander, has a €16 million release clause and has recently performed well in LaLiga. United may re-evaluate their interest in Hall if Salinas impresses.
