Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly offered to Manchester United as left-back solution

Myles Lewis-Skelly has been offered to Manchester United as a potential left-back option, with Arsenal wishing to recoup some of the £75m paid to Newcastle for Bruno Guimarães.

Chelsea, it is understood, have also been made aware of the availability of the 19-year-old, who won the Premier League under Mikel Arteta last term. Whether the west London club will make a move for Lewis-Skelly is unclear.

Lewis-Skelly, who made only five league starts and a total of 36 appearances in all competitions in 2025-26, signed a five-year contract last summer. His prospective price is thought to be in the region of £45m.

This is within the range of finance United have so far spent this summer, following Youri Tielemans’s £35m move from Aston Villa and Andrey Santos’s arrival for £48m plus £2m of add-ons from Chelsea.

Newcastle’s Lewis Hall remains of prime interest for United but after losing Guimarães, Sandro Tonali to Tottenham, and Anthony Gordon to Barcelona, the new Newcastle manager, Matthias Jaissle, is intent the 21-year-old England international does not also depart

RB Leipzig’s 28-year-old left-back David Raum is another in the position United may assess.
