Myles Lewis-Skelly: Arteta makes bold claim about United target
Myles Lewis-Skelly: Arteta makes bold claim about United target Manchester United’s pursuit of a new left-back has seen them linked with a surprise move for Arsenal prodigy Myles Lewis-Skelly. The Red Devils are laying down succession plans for Luke Shaw, who has been in impressive form this season. The Englishman has started every Premier League game this campaign, but he will turn 31 this summer.
His contract is due to expire at the end of next season, and he is yet to sign a new deal. While a renewal cannot be entirely ruled out, the Red Devils could be tempted to solidify the position with fresh blood, given Shaw’s history of fitness issues. Tyrell Malacia, meanwhile, is a forgotten man at Old Trafford and is expected to leave this summer.
Patrick Dorgu is an option for the job, but he has been excellent in a more attacking role under Carrick, which hints at the possibility of a position change. Lewis-Skelly’s future at the Emirates has been subject to speculation of late, and recent reports have stated that United are already planning to prise him away. Versatile modern full-back Lewis-Skelly broke into the senior side last season, scoring one goal and setting up three more in 42 games across all competitions.
The 19 year old played mostly at left-back, although he is capable enough to operate in midfield as well. This season, however, the Englishman has struggled for game time, with Piero Hincapie and Riccardo Calafiori ahead of him in Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta’s pecking order. Lewis-Skelly has registered four assists in 31 appearances, 15 of which have been starts.

A previous report relayed by The Peoples Person suggests that Arsenal are willing to offload Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri for a combined fee of £100 million this summer.
