Chris Waddle has explained why Newcastle United defender Lewis Hall will be considering a move to Manchester United. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
Stressing that the opportunity to double his salary will hold obvious appeal to the youngster, Waddle revealed that the mass exodus at St James’ Park is another factor that could push Hall to Old Trafford.
Chris added that there’s too much uncertainty at Newcastle for any player to be settled there.
His words, “I think all players will be looking at it at the minute. Anybody who’s interested in a Newcastle United player, they’ll be looking at it.
The players will be looking and thinking, Man United, Champions League again, probably double my salary, if not more, a bit more security. You know, the clubs going in the right direction again, Man United.
So, you can see why the pulling power’s there and Newcastle, let’s be honest, don’t look to be doing a lot in the transfer market. Yes, they’ve signed two or three players, all 20 or under I think they are, and they’re not proven, might improve, they might be a disaster.
Look, the three signings last year, who were quite experienced players, didn’t do very well at all. So, they’re a bit of a club in a crisis and to lose Hall as much as the rest, it’s very difficult to build a team to survive in the Premier League. At the minute, Newcastle will be looking over their shoulder more towards the bottom than they will be at the top.
Manchester United are looking to strengthen at left-back and that could be one of their next priorities.
At the moment, Lewis Hall is considered too expensive and Newcastle have absolutely no intention of selling him. Newcastle have already lost several important figures this summer. Sandro Tonali joined Tottenham, Anthony Gordon moved to Barcelona, Bruno Guimaraes is joining Arsenal and they’ve also lost manager Eddie Howe.
Because of that, Newcastle are determined to keep Lewis Hall. Only an extraordinary offer could change their position, so we’ll continue to monitor the situation over the coming days.”
