Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly offered to Manchester United as left-back solution

The Guardian · 2 hours ago

Manchester United have been offered Arsenal's Myles Lewis-Skelly as a potential solution to their left-back needs, with Arsenal keen to recoup some of the £75m they paid Newcastle for Bruno Guimarães. Chelsea have also been made aware of the 19-year-old's availability, though it remains unclear whether the west London club will pursue a move. The development marks a striking turnaround for a player who won the Premier League with Arsenal under Mikel Arteta last season, yet made only five league starts.

Lewis-Skelly made 36 appearances in all competitions during the 2025-26 season and signed a five-year contract with Arsenal last summer, but his prospective price is now put at around £45m, in line with United's spending this window following moves for Youri Tielemans (£35m from Aston Villa) and Andrey Santos (£48m plus add-ons from Chelsea). United's primary target for the position remains Newcastle's Lewis Hall, though new Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle is determined to keep the 21-year-old England international after already losing Guimarães, Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon this summer. RB Leipzig's David Raum, 28, is another left-back option United may consider.
