Overview
- Recent reporting from Standard Sport and follow-ups in Arsenal-focused outlets say Manchester United are not actively pursuing a move for Myles Lewis‑Skelly this summer.
- The Independent had earlier said United were monitoring the 19‑year‑old as a potential left‑back option, but that claim has been downplayed by later coverage.
- Sources indicate United are more interested in targets such as Lewis Hall from Newcastle as they assess Luke Shaw’s contract situation rather than pressing to sign Lewis‑Skelly.
- Arsenal are viewed as unlikely to sell Lewis‑Skelly unless he requests a transfer or a large offer arrives, with the club preferring to keep the Hale End graduate given his potential.
- Former Arsenal coach Jack Wilshere has urged Lewis‑Skelly to stay and fight for first‑team minutes after the player finished last season well when moved into midfield alongside Declan Rice.
