Man Utd transfer latest: Hall verdict, Zirkzee twist and Ndiaye blow

Manchester United have been linked with Lewis Hall following Eddie Howe's departure from Newcastle, but there is a realistic view at Old Trafford that a deal would be extremely difficult to pull off. Simon Stone reports that United also expect Harry Amass to leave, either on loan or permanently, with the young defender's path to first-team minutes unclear. Hall, for his part, has reportedly turned down a return to Chelsea. Joshua Zirkzee's anticipated move to Juventus could be complicated by Chelsea. Reports from Italy indicate the Netherlands forward is likely to leave United after two difficult seasons, with Juve having agreed a loan with the Premier League club and personal terms with the player. However, the Serie A side must first create room in their squad to satisfy UEFA's financial regulations, and Chelsea are ready to step in. United boss Michael Carrick added to the uncertainty around Zirkzee by picking Bryan Mbeumo ahead of him in the forward role for the weekend's friendly against Atletico Madrid. Meanwhile, Chido Obi-Martin is set to be loaned out for the season, according to Tipsbladet. The 18-year-old has attracted 'massive' interest from England and abroad, and United are open to letting him leave if the right opportunity comes up. Obi-Martin, who arrived from Arsenal, was left out of the pre-season tour despite scoring 19 goals in 40 appearances for the U21s last season. United also look set to miss out on Iliman Ndiaye. The Everton winger is closing on a £75 million move to Al-Hilal, with the Saudi club ready to match the Toffees' asking price. That leaves the Red Devils priced out of a deal. Ndiaye has scored 15 goals and created three more in 65 Premier League appearances since joining Everton from Marseille two years ago.
