Manchester United are preparing a transfer bid for £60m-rated Newcastle United left-back Lewis Hall.
The Red Devils are big admirers of the 21-year-old, who has shone for Newcastle since joining from Chelsea a few years ago.
With Newcastle looking in total disarray after the departures of key players Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali, and the imminent exit of manager Eddie Howe, it seems United sense that this could be a good time to try moving for Hall.
It makes sense for Manchester United to try capitalising on all the chaos at St James' Park, with a top talent like Hall perhaps likely to question his situation at the moment.
Newcastle looked like they were building an exciting project, but they're now facing a massive rebuild, and a top talent like Hall might not be patient enough to stick around.
The young Englishman is likely to see Manchester United as a tempting option right now after their progress under Michael Carrick.
Lewis Hall could have an important long-term role at Old Trafford, with Carrick surely in need of a long-term replacement for the ageing Luke Shaw.
Shaw has had a lot of injury problems down the years, and although he's been a good servant to the club when he's been able to stay fit, it's probably time for a change.
Hall looks like he has a big future in the game, so Manchester United would do well to pounce and fix that left-back role for many years to come.
