'Manchester United Interest Didn't Affect Me' Newcastle United Star Lewis Hall Reveals Impact of Summer Transfer Distraction
Hall signed a five-year extension and said Newcastle’s ambitions made the deal an easy decision despite summer interest from Manchester United.
Last week, 22-year-old defender Lewis Hall signed a new five-year contract extension with Newcastle, tying him to the club until 2031 despite summer speculation linking him to Manchester United.
Hall credited Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle, who joined from Al-Ahli in July, for convincing him to stay, calling the decision a "no-brainer" after seeing the German coach's clear ambitions.
The defender has made 109 appearances for the Magpies and scored the decisive goal in Saturday's 2-1 win over Hull City, earning a recall to the England squad.
Hall insisted the summer speculation regarding Manchester United did not affect him, stating, "I guess whenever you're linked to another team, you know that you're doing something right."
The England international remains focused on achieving club ambitions, adding, "As long as we achieve these ambitions and achieve what we want to achieve, I'm sure I'll be here for a long time.
