The club has had two bids for the 24-year-old turned down.
Coyle has confirmed that Newcastle's second offer was for £4.5million.
And Blackburn's manager has pointed to United's reported £35million valuation of unsettled midfielder Moussa Sissoko to back up his argument.
"For me, that is nowhere near the valuation of Grant Hanley," Coyle told BBC Radio Lancashire.
