Manchester United’s chances of signing Lewis Hall have taken a huge blow as details of his Newcastle United contract extension have been revealed.
It is no secret that Michael Carrick wanted to sign a new left-back during the summer transfer window, with Hall emerging as his top target.
The 22-year-old has developed into one of the Premier League’s best full-backs since leaving Chelsea for St. James’ Park three years ago.
His efforts have helped Newcastle win the Carabao Cup and qualify for the Champions League, though he was surprisingly left out of the England squad for the 2026 World Cup.
The Magpies repeatedly told the Red Devils that Hall was not for sale at any price this summer, but it was reported that the defender was very much open to moving to Old Trafford.
That no longer appears to be the case however, as Newcastle announced on Friday that Hall has signed a new five-year contract with the club.
Moreover, as reported by The Athletic, there is no set release clause in the new deal, strengthening the Magpies’ position and making it more difficult for Man Utd to sign the player in the future.

It was reported that the Red Devils were still very interesting in making a move for Hall next summer, but he will now surely command a premium price tag.
Carrick has just one senior natural left-back at his disposal for this season in the shape of Luke Shaw, but Patrick Dorgu did play there in the Champions League win over Sabah on Thursday, and was named Player of the Match.
Man Utd face rivals Manchester City on Sunday in the Premier League, while Newcastle travel to Leeds United on Monday night.

‘I’m absolutely delighted,’ Hall, who has played every minute of the campaign so far, said upon signing his contract extension.
