What happened. Manchester United have identified Lewis Hall as a top target for left-back, but Newcastle's £75m asking price has made a summer move unlikely, potentially delaying a swoop until next year.

• United may delay a move for Hall and pursue him next summer instead.
• Luke Shaw is currently the only senior left-back at the club.
• Burnley are ready to sign Harry Amass if United let him leave.

United may need a short-term solution on deadline day, with Hall's transfer likely to wait until next summer.
