Signing a new midfielder appears to be Manchester United's priority, even though they are close to completing a new addition.

Reports have claimed that a deal is done for Atalanta midfielder Ederson to join the club, despite no official confirmation just yet.

Up next for United could be the signature of West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes, with one journalist even claiming that the Portuguese star will end up at United this summer.

After solving the midfield situation, attention will likely turn to other positions, as there's no doubt the Red Devils need reinforcements all over the pitch.

According to Italian journalist Romano, over the last two or three days, Manchester United have kept contacts alive and active with those close to Newcastle defender Lewis Hall.

The Red Devils made contact a few weeks ago, but they've kept talks up recently with the England international, someone they 'really love'.

"I wanted to mention something on Manchester United, because over the last two, three days, Manchester United kept the contacts alive and active with those close to Lewis Hall, the left back from Newcastle. Manchester United already made contact a few weeks ago. Manchester United have genuine interest in the player. They really like Lewis Hall, so he's one of the targets. Of course, we know Manchester United are going to be busy with midfielders, that area of the pitch for Man United remains a priority, because Ederson is coming, Ederson is done. But then after Ederson, one more midfielder- at least it could be two, we will see- but one more midfielder will join Manchester United. Then left back remains a position they want to cover. Lewis Hall is a player they really, really love at Manchester United."

Newcastle have already lost Anthony Gordon to Barcelona this summer, while the likes of Sandro Tonali and Hall are being heavily linked with departures.

United are looking to take advantage, and it's likely a positive for them that Hall isn't at the World Cup with England.

Hall, described as elite, could be the perfect replacement for Luke Shaw in the long term.

United left back Shaw has seemingly got over his injury issues, starting every Premier League game last season, but he has had fitness problems over the last few years.

The English defender isn't getting any younger, so signing a long-term replacement would be a smart move, and Hall could be that ideal man.

Hall is certainly ready to be a guaranteed starter at United, but learning and competing with Shaw could be beneficial to his development.

The issue United now have is convincing Newcastle to part ways for a reasonable fee.
