Manchester United is gearing up for an active summer transfer window as they aim to strengthen their squad.
The full-back position has become increasingly competitive in the Premier League, with wing-backs gaining importance for their dual role in defense and attack.
Luke Shaw’s experience is valuable, but at 30, there are concerns about future planning. United’s recruitment team is looking at various players who could bring long-term options in this position.
This search has linked the Red Devils with several promising talents.
One such target is 19-year-old Arsenal full-back Myles Lewis-Skelly, according to reports by Danyal Khan on X.
This season, Lewis-Skelly has struggled for playtime at Arsenal, with only twelve Premier League starts due to increased competition for the left-back spot.
Last season, he enjoyed a breakout, making 42 appearances for Arsenal and even scoring on his debut for England, becoming the youngest player to do so under manager Thomas Tuchel.
However, tactical changes by Mikel Arteta and the addition of other defenders like Riccardo Calafiori and Piero Hincapie have limited his chances despite his notable talent.
United’s interest in Lewis-Skelly is part of a broader monitoring effort, with players like Nathaniel Brown and Lewis Hall also under consideration as left-back options this summer.
A move away from Arsenal could mark an important next step in Lewis-Skelly’s career, offering him a chance for regular playtime and a significant role at one of England’s top clubs.
