What happened. Manchester United wanted to sign Lewis Hall this summer but left their move too late, allowing rivals to benefit.

• United directly approached Newcastle over Hall.
• They were keen to secure the young defender for around £50m.
• The deal might have been possible if they had moved earlier.

United's late interest likely allowed other clubs to swoop in for the talented left-back.
