Manchester United is considering adding Lewis-Skelly to their summer transfer list as they search for a new left-back, which could put Arsenal in a difficult position.

The Red Devils have several areas they want to improve, including their full-back position, and Lewis-Skelly's situation at Arsenal makes him an attractive target, despite his limited playing time this season.

The 19-year-old signed a new five-year contract with Arsenal last summer but has struggled to get playing time, starting only one Premier League game all season, and this lack of minutes may also affect his chances of playing in the World Cup.

Lewis-Skelly is highly regarded at Arsenal for his impressive development in the club's academy, but he needs regular playing time to continue growing as a player, and Manchester United may try to take advantage of his current situation.

Other players, such as Newcastle's Lewis Hall and Eintracht Frankfurt's Nathaniel Brown, are also on Manchester United's shortlist for the left-back position.

Arsenal is looking to make some signings in the summer, but they may need to sell some players to raise funds, and if they decide to sell Lewis-Skelly, it would be a profitable move since he came up through their youth system.

Arsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta, has acknowledged that Lewis-Skelly faces strong competition for a spot in the team and needs to seize any opportunities he gets, saying that the player's attitude has been excellent despite the limited playing time.

The club's recent recruitment has affected some of their academy players, such as Ethan Nwaneri, who had to go on loan to Marseille in January to get more playing time.

Lewis-Skelly has fallen down the pecking order at Arsenal, and Manchester United's interest in him could create an unusual situation where Arsenal has to consider a transfer offer from a direct rival.

If Manchester United were to sign Lewis-Skelly, it would be a significant move, especially since he is much further along in his development than Ayden Heaven, who recently moved from Arsenal to Manchester United.

Manchester United's top priority in the summer is to sign a central midfielder, with players like Elliot Anderson, Adam Wharton, and Carlos Baleba on their radar.
