Transfer blow for Arsenal! Manchester United planning a surprise move
At Old Trafford, the decision has been made to test just how unshakable Arsenal’s stance really is.
Details: According to The Independent, Manchester United are considering a summer move for defender Myles Lewis-Skelly. The club’s management wants to find out if Arsenal would be willing to entertain an offer, all while continuing to pursue Newcastle’s Lewis Hall.

Arsenal would prefer to keep their academy product. Lewis-Skelly delivered a powerful finish to last season and even started in the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain, playing a key role in the Londoners’ success.
However, the landscape might shift if the Gunners complete the anticipated signings of Bruno Guimarães and Vinícius Júnior. The arrival of these stars could impact the young Englishman’s role in the squad and force him to reconsider his future.
That said, Arsenal have not yet added Lewis-Skelly to the list of players they are actively trying to sell. Manchester United also remain hopeful of landing Lewis Hall, though it’s clear the club faces a major task to pull off either deal.
Reminder: Man United preparing £60m bid for Premier League star in summer's priciest transfer.
