Man United shortlist Nathaniel Brown and Lewis Hall to succeed Luke Shaw | OneFootball

Manchester United are looking for a new left-back this summer and have eyes on Lewis Hall and Nathaniel Brown, according to Sky Sports. 

Man Utd are preparing to cut Tyrell Malacia loose following a disappointing time at Old Trafford.

Patrick Dorgu is untested at left-back and enjoyed his best spell when played further forward.

First-choice left-back Luke Shaw is not getting any younger.

Man Utd desperately need a successor to the England international (34 caps) and are considering Hall and Brown for the role.

Hall has been a stellar signing for Newcastle United, impressing with his remarkable quality on and off the ball.

He has grown into a full-fledged England international, and his performances have caught the eye of clubs like Manchester United.

Hall is a complete, modern left-back who is comfortable marauding down the flanks as he is defending a winger one-v-one.

The 21-year-old has registered a goal and created four big chances while keeping three clean sheets in 24 Premier League appearances.

Meanwhile, Brown has been one of the bright spots of a very poor Eintracht Frankfurt season.

The Man United target has bagged four goals and four assists, helping to keep six clean sheets in 26 Bundesliga outings.

Between the two, Hall feels like the smarter, lower-risk investment for Manchester United.

He already understands the Premier League’s rhythm and physical demands, which is no small advantage for a side that cannot afford another adaptation project.

His ability to step into midfield and dictate phases of play can add a new layer of control for Man United, especially in the build-up phase.

Crucially, Hall is also the more reliable defender. He reads danger well, times his challenges, and holds his own in one-on-one situations against top-level wingers.

For a team like Man Utd in need of immediate stability and long-term upside, Hall simply ticks more boxes.
