# Lewis Hall: United Ready to Trigger Release Clause

## 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](https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMilAFBVV95cUxOQVdXcEVRRGk2YzVDbnhUYjNnbFJTdnJCVTR6SjNVSEJ3RHJwdXd0bC1ZbTBDZDdiM21UaTlhRTFQWVBtZTFJb0ZORE1SOGpGdEtMaW5aVWNUdkdRczhydlliazhLS19XYVJpR01BOGhBTndRU3piZk1xcXFkSWVyMTgzTEstdEZXUFdTYUpuWjV1ck1Q?oc=5), 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](https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMikgFBVV95cUxQRXBJZWNWNzBlR2t1Ti1aaVRYQUdmN2doVFMwTWF0QmNMTkxZNXNXOWIzWkZ0Q2NqUDhhQ2tLUGZkdU85MEJVLTkyMy1VcG1Mc2xVYXlXbUZsLXVCV0lranVWTzFBdFlvMnZmX2EyNTMwUEF3Q0RlbnQ1SllaWkwxOFpxS2I0c2RzcTh2VnQtRVhEdw?oc=5) 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](https://readmanutd.com/category/transfers/).

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.
