Man United given 'green light' to sign Myles Lewis-Skelly after new Arsenal development
Manchester United may finally have the opportunity to strike a deal for Arsenal gem Myles Lewis-Skelly this summer.
It has been widely reported that Man United are long-term admirers of the 19-year-old, who is capable of featuring at full-back or centre-midfield.
The academy product already has 75 first-team appearances for the Gunners, and even six England caps, explaining the interest from Premier League rivals.
However, he was only handed five Premier League starts in 2025-26, instead making more starts in Arsenal's journey to the Champions League final.
Lewis-Skelly is absolutely adored by the supporters at the Emirates Stadium, but it could soon be Old Trafford that worships him.
The Red Devils have eyed the 19-year-old as a replacement for Lewis Hall of Newcastle United, who is believed to have been told he's not for sale.

If Hall is unavailable this summer, Lewis-Skelly would be the second-best option, and Michael Carrick may have just been given the green light to make a move.
According to talkSPORT's Alex Crook, via X, the player has been offered to multiple Premier League clubs, with the Gunners ready to sell ahead of 2026-27.
It is understood that Chelsea are also amongst the teams involved, and it looks like a realistic transfer after the arrival of Bruno Guimaraes.
Given Chelsea's reckless spending so far, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Xabi Alonso's side make a play, but Man United seems like the more sensible option.
How have Man United fans reacted to the news?
The overall consensus has been positive, with Man United potentially bringing aboard a very talented youngster, capable of playing different positions.
While Arsenal are open to his sale, it is unlikely to come cheap, even after a lack of minutes at the Emirates during the 2026-27 campaign.
Carrick has not been afraid to put his trust in the younger generation, but even at 19 years of age, Lewis-Skelly has a wealth of knowledge and experience to bring to Old Trafford.
