Paying £55m for Lewis Hall when Newcastle only bought him to balance their own PSR books is pure, unadulterated Manchester United financial comedy. The tax on English players at Old Trafford never ends. 😭💀
Newcastle fans must be throwing a party right now. Imagine getting a premium fee from United for a left-back who isn't even the undisputed best defender in his own squad. INEOS' talent identification is off to an incredible start...
Chelsea sold him, Newcastle benched him half the time, and now Manchester United want to pay £55m for him. The absolute definition of a heritage transfer panic buy.
