AI Summary

Myles Lewis-Skelly has been presented to Manchester United as a potential left-back solution, following Arsenal's desire to recover part of the £75 million spent on Bruno Guimarães from Newcastle United.

There are indications that Chelsea has also been informed of the 19-year-old's availability, but it remains uncertain if they will pursue a deal.

Lewis-Skelly, who played a limited role last season with only five league starts and a total of 36 appearances across all competitions, signed a five-year contract with Arsenal last summer. His estimated transfer fee is around £45 million.

This figure aligns with the financial activity of United this summer, which includes:

  • Youri Tielemans's £35 million transfer from Aston Villa
  • Andrey Santos's acquisition for £48 million plus £2 million in add-ons from Chelsea

While Lewis-Skelly is on United's radar, they continue to eye Newcastle's Lewis Hall as a primary target. However, with key departures including Guimarães, Sandro Tonali to Tottenham, and Anthony Gordon to Barcelona, new Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle is determined to keep the 21-year-old England international.

Additionally, RB Leipzig’s 28-year-old left-back David Raum is another option that United may consider, as they look to strengthen their defensive lineup.
