What happened. Lewis Hall signed a five-year contract extension with Newcastle United, turning down interest from Manchester United. He credited new manager Matthias Jaissle for convincing him to stay.

• Hall was heavily linked with Man Utd, who need a left-back, but Newcastle refused to sell.
• New boss Matthias Jaissle, 38, replaced Eddie Howe in the summer and impressed Hall.
• Newcastle lost Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes and Anthony Gordon in the summer.

“no-brainer”

— Lewis Hall

Hall's commitment signals faith in Jaissle as Newcastle aim to rebound from a poor campaign.
