Manchester United\u2019s director of football, Jason Wilcox, wants to raid Newcastle United in the upcoming summer transfer window.<\/p>\n
Newcastle endured a disastrous Premier League campaign under Eddie Howe, finishing 12th in the table and failing to secure European football.<\/p>\n
Last summer, Alexander Isak forced his way out of Newcastle. Now, the Magpies risk losing more key players.<\/p>\n
According to CaughtOffside, Newcastle United boyhood fan Lewis Hall could become \u201cone of the most interesting names of the summer window\u201d with Manchester United making the left-back a priority target.<\/p>\n
United\u2019s interest in the technically gifted Englishman, who is allegedly valued at \u00a355 million, is believed to be \u201cgenuine\u201d. <\/p>\n
It is claimed Jason Wilcox is \u201ca big admirer of Hall and is pushing the club to look seriously at a deal.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wilcox likes the 21-year-old because he is \u201cleft-footed, Premier League-proven and technically very comfortable.\u201d The former Chelsea gem often likes to drift into midfield, underlining how at ease he is in tight spaces.<\/p>\n
More importantly, Luke Shaw, who surprisingly started all of United\u2019s 38 league games this season, needs genuine competition following the departure of Tyrell Malacia.<\/p>\n
Recently, The Peoples Person relayed a report claiming Hall is considering his future at Newcastle after being left devastated by Thomas Tuchel\u2019s decision to not include him in England\u2019s World Cup squad.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, United are also thought to be chasing Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali, who has reportedly been pushing to leave the club since January.<\/p>\n
A separate report claimed that Michael Carrick has specifically asked the United hierarchy to sign the Italian box-to-box midfielder.<\/p>\n
Tonali is also admired at Manchester City, but his preference is to move to Old Trafford ahead of next season.<\/p>\n
