Myles Lewis-Skelly remains at Arsenal after rejecting interest from Manchester United

Manchester United attempted to sign Arsenal academy graduate Myles Lewis-Skelly this summer to provide cover and a long-term successor for veteran left-back Luke Shaw. Although intermediaries offered the 19-year-old to both United and Chelsea, the player opted to remain with his boyhood club. Lewis-Skelly, who registered four assists in 36 appearances last season while helping Arsenal win the Premier League, reportedly never sought a move away from the Emirates Stadium. Manchester United had identified the versatile teenager as a solution for their defensive depth, specifically for his ability to operate in both midfield and at left-back. The club ultimately failed to secure a new left-back before the transfer window closed. Arsenal maintain they did not initiate any discussions regarding a transfer, while United continues to navigate the final year of Luke Shaw's contract.
