Manchester United has once again set its sights on Arsenal defender Myles Lewis-Skelly. The young talent has been linked with interest from the "Red Devils" for some time, and that interest appears to be intensifying.
The 19-year-old started for Arsenal in their Champions League final loss against Paris Saint-Germain and proved to be a key figure for manager Mikel Arteta towards the end of the season, despite limited opportunities earlier in the campaign. However, he might still depart the Emirates this summer.
The "Gunners" have reportedly reached an agreement with Newcastle for Bruno Guimarães and are also pursuing Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior. According to media reports, the club aims to balance its finances after potential expenditures exceeding £200 million. This financial balancing act could force the management to part ways with a player like Lewis-Skelly.
The left-back remains highly valued at the Emirates, with Arsenal reportedly valuing him at around £50 million. However, given that United is a direct Premier League rival, the London club might demand an even higher fee.
After securing the services of Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans, United manager Carrick is showing serious interest in Lewis-Skelly. The young player could prove to be the perfect replacement for Luke Shaw, who turned 31 last month.
Riccardo Calafiori and Piero Hincapié were preferred by Mikel Arteta over Lewis-Skelly at left-back, which might lead the young talent to believe his playing time next season will be limited. This is another reason he might seriously consider a potential offer from the "Red Devils."
