Arsenal star Myles Lewis-Skelly on the radar of Manchester United ahead of the summer

Manchester United are monitoring the situation of Arsenal star Myles Lewis-Skelly as they look to sign a new left-back this summer, according to Sky Sports reporter Danyal Khan.

He has reportedly told Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta of his frustration at not playing regularly.

Man United want to strengthen at left-back and will look to bring in a younger option in the coming months.

The Red Devils have already been linked with Newcastle United full-back Lewis Hall and Eintracht Frankfurt’s Nathaniel Brown.

Lewis-Skelly, who signed a five-year deal at Arsenal last summer, has also emerged as a target.

The 19-year-old is behind Piero Hincapie and Riccardo Calafiori in the pecking order for the left-back spot and has started just one Premier League game this term.

The Gunners are expected to make major sales this term to balance the books, and selling Lewis-Skelly could appeal to them if he insists on leaving.

He can also feature in midfield, which could appeal to Man United as they look to replace Casemiro.

The Arsenal star was in England manager Thomas Tuchel’s plans last term, making six appearances.

However, he has started just 12 times in 26 games this season and could be open to leaving, as the situation is unlikely to change.

A move to the Theatre of Dreams could appeal to Lewis-Skelly, but he is not guaranteed more opportunities there.

He will want to join a club where he can play regularly if he leaves Arsenal.
