Mitten: INEOS believe £60m Premier League starlet wants to join Man United after Baleba
· Yahoo Sports
Although Manchester United are currently prioritising the addition of a third midfielder in the form of Carlos Baleba, their attention will soon be able to turn elsewhere.
Assuming a deal for the Brighton and Hove Albion star is wrapped up in the coming days, it’ll give United just over a week to negotiate the arrival of a new left-back.

United believe Lewis Hall wants Old Trafford switch
Today, Andy Mitten has revealed that INEOS chiefs are of the belief that Lewis Hall wants to join United this summer.
However, any prospective transfer is complicated due to the fact that Newcastle United have absolutely zero intention of parting ways with the youngster.
They have already bid farewell to key men Anthony Gordon, Sandro Tonali and captain Bruno Guimaraes – not to mention Eddie Howe decided to step down from his role as head coach after five years on Tyneside.
Alas, you can understand why the Magpies board have closed the door to any more major outgoings as they look to give newly-appointed Matthias Jaissle the best possible opportunity of succeeding in his first season.
Why United might have to seek an alternative to Hall
While Hall, 21, spent 12 years on Chelsea’s books and is a graduate of their academy, he is actually a lifelong Newcastle supporter, as are his family.
As such, you can’t imagine he would go as far as the likes of Alexander Isak in forcing a move away from St. James’ Park, which United would’ve perhaps liked him to do.
Should they have to put their interest in the England international on the back burner until next summer, the Red Devils will have to turn to alternative full-back targets before the deadline.
It’s now common knowledge that United have been offered Arsenal starlet Myles Lewis-Skelly, and his versatility to play in both defence and midfield is an enticing factor for INEOS as they continue scouring the market.
