The Red Devils have monitored Hall’s development for some time, having shortlisted him as a primary target in March after a series of standout performances under Eddie Howe.

At Old Trafford, senior decision-makers view Hall as an ideal candidate to be the long-term successor to Luke Shaw. While Shaw remains a crucial figure when fit, United are planning a clear succession strategy.

Hall’s technical ability, tactical versatility, and comfort stepping into central areas align with the demands of the modern full-back.

Since moving to Tyneside, the youngster has established himself as a reliable Premier League performer, capable of carrying out both defensive responsibilities and overlapping runs.

Despite United’s strong admiration for Hall, a deal is far from straightforward. The Red Devils are navigating the final month of the transfer window while carefully assessing options across several key areas of the squad.

United’s transfer committee is working internally to prioritise the remaining budget before making a formal commitment.

The urgency of acquiring a high-calibre left-back like Hall will be weighed against pressing needs in other areas of the squad.

For now, Manchester United continue their due diligence on Hall alongside other candidates, keeping their options open as they decide whether to move forward with a formal bid.
