Man Utd Transfer Roundup: Lewis Hall Hope Revived, Tchouameni Open to Move - Romano Reveals Midfield Targets

Manchester United are keeping their options open across multiple positions this summer, with fresh hope emerging over a deal for Newcastle left-back Lewis Hall while midfield targets are being assessed. Transfer expert insider has provided clarity on the club's midfield search, revealing that Danilo has been offered to United but is not a priority, whereas concrete conversations have taken place with Manu Koné's representatives. Romano told sources: "Danilo has been offered to Manchester United and proposed as a possible midfield option. At the moment, however, the deal is not progressing because United have different priorities in midfield. Danilo is a player who has been offered to the club. This is not a negotiation initiated by Manchester United. Manu Kone is different. Manchester United have spoken directly with the player's agents and have held concrete conversations over a possible move. However, they have not yet contacted Roma because they are still deciding which type of defensive midfielder they want to sign. So there have been no club-to-club negotiations and no official bid. Carlos Baleba is a player who would be very keen on joining Manchester United. He already wanted the move a year ago, but now it is up to Manchester United to decide whether they want to reopen discussions with Brighton." On the left-back front, United remain keen on Lewis Hall and hope to add him if Newcastle make him available. Hall missed out on Thomas Tuchel's England squad for the 2026 World Cup, fuelling speculation about a summer exit. According to The National News, United "wouldn't target players if they didn't think they didn't want to move to Old Trafford," suggesting optimism remains. However, midfield is the priority, and a left-back move will only happen if funds are freed up, with Marcus Rashford's future proving pivotal to the budget. Aurelien Tchouameni also features in United's thinking. The Real Madrid midfielder could be allowed to leave if Madrid sign Yan Diomande, and although Tchouameni is happy in Spain, he is open to joining United if told he is not needed. The fee and wages would be a challenge. United have already explored alternatives such as Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos. Elsewhere, Middlesbrough have registered interest in United goalkeeper Radek Vitek. The 22-year-old, who spent last season on loan at Bristol City, wants to be a first-choice option. Talks over a permanent or loan move have taken place, but nothing has advanced yet and Vitek is one of several Boro targets. He played 45 minutes in each of United's pre-season friendlies, keeping clean sheets against Wrexham and Rosenborg.
