# United set for 'complicated' talks after £170m deals hand Carrick headache

Newcastle, however, do not need to sell this summer after already selling two key players in Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali to Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur, respectively, for the best part of £170million. That total rises to almost £300m when including the £125m deal they agreed with Liverpool for Alexander Isak on last summer's transfer deadline day.

Fabrizio Romano now claims in his latest YouTube video that Newcastle do not want to sell Hall. It is noted that they have already made big money this summer.

There is also an expectation that Bruno Guimaraes will join Arsenal over the next month, with a reported transfer fee of up to £80m for the Brazil international.

However, it is said that United have internally approved the England international and consider him an ideal addition who they really appreciate. Ha;; is described as a top target on the club's list as they assess the player's situation in the North East this summer.

It is also clarified that United are not done in the market this summer despite already making five signings. Andrey Santos, Karl Darlow and Youri Tielemans all signed from Chelsea, Leeds United and Aston Villa, respectively, within the space of two days last month.

The former Swansea City goalkeeper Kit Margetson and Spurs academy graduate Tynan Thompson have also become United players over recent weeks. However, it is now approaching three weeks since the club announced a senior signing, and left-back appears to be the focus.

Luke Shaw is the club's only senior option in that position. Harry Amass has rotated with him thus far during pre-season.

The teenager, though, could yet depart United on loan or permanently sometime this summer. That would leave Noussair Mazraoui and Patrick Dorgu as the only alternatives to Shaw. However, both are more comfortable playing elsewhere.

United are also credited with an interest in Barcelona's Alejandro Balde and Racing Santander's Jorge Salinas. Archie Brown and Djed Spence have also been mentioned as English alternatives, with the latter making Thomas Tuchel's 26-player World Cup squad ahead of Hall this summer.

Newcastle's left-back came into the England set-up two years ago under Gareth Southgate's interim replacement, Lee Carsley, at the expense of Shaw.
