Lewis Hall has opened the door to a Manchester United move following Newcastle United’s lacklustre 2025/2026 campaign.
According to Samuel Luckhurst, the full-back is keen to play in the Champions League next season, which Newcastle are unable to offer after finishing 12th.

Why Lewis Hall is considering shock Newcastle exit
In addition, Hall reportedly feels aggrieved over how he was handled during the Magpies’ run-in, and is said to privately blame Eddie Howe for his World Cup omission this summer.
The 21-year-old, at one stage of the term, looked a shoo-in to make Thomas Tuchel’s selection, especially given he featured in the final international break before the tournament began.

Yet, Hall ultimately missed out. He became one of a handful of shock omissions in the England setup, along with Cole Palmer, Morgan Gibbs-White, and even Luke Shaw.
Hall would be Shaw’s long-term successor in M16
Shaw is who the youngster would eventually be replacing on the left-hand side of defence at Old Trafford, so having at least a season as his understudy in a rotational role could prove hugely beneficial.
Now United’s longest-serving player on the books, the 30-year-old’s contract runs until June 2027.
As there is no 12-month option included in his terms, a new deal would have to be agreed between Shaw and INEOS chiefs if he were to extend his tenure beyond 13 years.
In any case, it’s thought Shaw would have to accept a pay cut on his £200,000-a-week wages, with United keen to continue lowering the exorbitant wage bill.
Meanwhile, Hall is tied to St. James’ Park 2029.
