United eye Lewis Hall amid focus on Carlos Baleba deal
Summary

Manchester United is currently prioritizing the transfer of midfielder Carlos Baleba, with hopes of completing the deal in the coming days. Following that, the club intends to pursue a left-back, with Lewis Hall identified as a candidate. However, Newcastle United is reluctant to release Hall, who is a lifelong fan of the club. This situation complicates United's efforts as they may need to consider alternative targets for the left-back position before the transfer deadline. Additionally, United has been offered Arsenals's Myles Lewis-Skelly, who can play both defense and midfield.
