Manchester United pursue Arsenal defender Myles Lewis‑Skelly

Manchester United are actively investigating a summer transfer for Arsenal left‑back Myles Lewis‑Skelly. The 19‑year‑old, who made 36 appearances and recorded four assists last season, is praised for his defensive solidity, versatility and ability to play in midfield. United manager Michael Carrick sees him as a potential solution to the club’s left‑back and midfield depth issues, especially as United have already added midfielders such as Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos.

Arsenal have indicated a preference to retain Lewis‑Skelly, but their stance could change if they complete high‑profile signings for Bruno Guimarães and Vinícius Júnior, which may reduce the youngster’s playing time. The defender is under contract until 2030, meaning any deal would likely involve a significant fee. United are also monitoring other left‑back options, including Newcastle United’s Lewis Hall, as they look to strengthen the position ahead of the next season.
