Myles Lewis-Skelly offered to United, Arsenal will be livid Manchester United cannot afford to ignore the left-back problem for too long. Luke Shaw has been an ever-present member of the backline this season, but then again, this is a World Cup year, and the Englishman does tend to perform well before quadrennial showpieces. Not many clubs would keep their faith in him, given his abysmal injury record.
It is high time the Red Devils bring in a successor instead of someone who can compete and push the England international in training. The likes of Alex Telles and Tyrell Malacia have all served that purpose, and it is time a replacement is brought in. High time United sign Shaw’s replacement Patrick Dorgu can play in that position, but as Michael Carrick has shown, the Dane is far better when playing further upfield.
Then there are academy graduates Harry Amass and Diego Leon. Both remain raw, and another loan stint makes more sense at this stage. Given United’s need to strengthen in midfield, out wide, and at the heart of the defence, it is unlikely the 20-time English league champions will spend big to land a new left-back.
Ideally, INEOS would prefer a Premier League-proven name and someone who is young, hungry and ready to make the position his own for years to come. Myles Lewis-Skelly offered to United Myles Lewis-Skelly of Arsenal fits the bill perfectly, with the Englishman hardly featuring under Mikel Arteta in the Premier League this season. Last term, the 19-year-old managed 15 starts in the English top flight but has managed only one this campaign.
