Manchester United may pursue Myles Lewis-Skelly before transfer deadline
Summary

Manchester United is considering a late move for Myles Lewis-Skelly ahead of the transfer deadline, despite the situation being described as 'complicated.' The player, initially offered to United by intermediaries, is reportedly inclined to remain at Arsenal and compete for his spot with the team strengthening its midfield. United remains interested in Lewis-Skelly's versatility, as he can play both left-back and central midfield. Meanwhile, the club is still keeping an eye on Lewis Hall as a primary target for left-side defense but faces challenges in acquiring him this transfer window. United is preparing for the new season with a kickoff away to Hull City on Saturday.
