However, the 19-year-old doesn\u2019t want to leave the Emirates Stadium and loves the club having come through their youth system.<\/p>\n<p>Lewis-Skelly signed a long-term contract until 2030 last year, meaning Arsenal aren\u2019t in any rush to sell him this summer, with the player valued at around \u00a338m by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.co.uk\/myles-lewis-skelly\/profil\/spieler\/890721\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Transfermarkt<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Lewis-Skelly to Arsenal<\/h2>\n<p>Lewis-Skelly is a versatile left-footed player. He initially featured as a left-back for Arsenal but has been displaying his best as a midfielder in recent months.<\/p>\n<p>United have decided to revamp the midfield department this summer and have already purchased Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans from <a href=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/topics\/chelsea\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"Chelsea news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chelsea<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/tag\/aston-villa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"24\" title=\"Aston Villa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Aston Villa<\/a>, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the 20-time English champions are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/7243081\/2026\/08\/19\/carlos-baleba-manchester-united-transfer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">closing<\/span><\/a> in on a deal to sign Carlos Baleba from Brighton and Hove Albion. So, United don\u2019t need another midfielder, with Kobbie Mainoo also an option.<\/p>\n<p>So, it is likely that Man Utd see Lewis-Skelly as a left-back option. He is a talented player and possesses high potential. Therefore, the Arsenal star might be a shrewd acquisition for Man Utd should they purchase him.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is going to be interesting to see whether the Old Trafford club eventually make a concrete approach to secure his services during this offseason.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Man Utd are set to start the new Premier League campaign against Hull City this weekend before taking on Ipswich Town later this month.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!--mvp-post-tags--><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!--posts-nav-link--><\/p>\n<div class=\"mvp-org-wrap\" itemprop=\"publisher\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n<div class=\"mvp-org-logo\" itemprop=\"logo\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"50\" src=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/new-logo.png\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/new-logo.png\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><!--mvp-org-logo--><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Football Talk | Premier League News\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><!--mvp-org-wrap-->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/236690\/manchester-united-like-arsenals-myles-lewis-skelly\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester United reportedly \u2018like\u2019 Arsenal\u2019s versatile youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly, as per transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
