Lewis Hall: United Ready to Trigger Release Clause

Manchester United are reportedly ready to trigger Lewis Hall’s release clause after Newcastle United stood firm in negotiations. According to the London Evening Standard, the Red Devils are prepared to activate the clause to force through a move for the England left-back this summer.

What the latest Lewis Hall reports say

Newcastle have held a firm stance on their prized full-back throughout the window, and reports suggest United have concluded that meeting the release clause is the surest route to a deal. Football365 earlier reported that the Magpies had reached a decision over selling Hall for a fee in the region of £60m, though nothing has been confirmed by either club. Michael Carrick is keen to strengthen at left-back, where Luke Shaw and Patrick Dorgu are the current senior options and where Hall has been United’s long-standing priority target.

It is the latest twist in a saga that has run for much of the summer. Supporters can keep track of every development through United’s summer transfer window.

For now, the Lewis Hall pursuit rumbles on, but United’s willingness to trigger the release clause suggests the Red Devils are ready to end the standoff with Newcastle.
