Manchester United<\/a> are reportedly planning to strengthen their left-back position in the summer transfer window and have drawn up a four-man shortlist.<\/p>\n

The club believe Luke Shaw<\/a> requires genuine competition, with Arsenal<\/a> youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly<\/a> identified as a potential option.<\/p>\n

Lewis-Skelly enjoyed a breakthrough 2024-25 campaign, making 42 appearances and establishing himself as a regular in the first team.<\/p>\n

However, the 19-year-old has started just once in the Premier League this season and has fallen behind Piero Hincapie and Riccardo Calafiori in the pecking order.<\/p>\n

Despite being tied to a long-term deal, limited game time could see him consider a move away from north London.<\/p>\n

Man Utd are also expected to part ways with Tyrell Malacia<\/a>, while Patrick Dorgu is viewed as a more advanced option, increasing the need for a natural left-back.<\/p>\n

Lewis-Skelly\u2019s reduced role has also affected his international prospects, with the defender likely to miss out on Thomas Tuchel\u2019s England national squad for the upcoming World Cup.<\/p>\n

According to TeamTalk<\/a>, the youngster is open to a move in search of regular football, and Arsenal could be willing to sanction his departure.<\/p>\n

Everton and Real Madrid have also been linked<\/a>, although United may hold an advantage if they formalise their interest.<\/p>\n

Alongside Lewis-Skelly, United are also reportedly targeting Tyrick Mitchell of Crystal Palace and Antonee Robinson of Fulham.<\/p>\n

The 20-time Premier League champions are also exploring options abroad, with David Raum of RB Leipzig under close observation.<\/p>\n

While Lewis-Skelly is regarded as a top young talent in English football, it remains unlikely that Arsenal would be willing to sell him to a direct rival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United are reportedly planning to strengthen their left-back position in the summer transfer window and have drawn…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":360301,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[4741,7572,1128,7335,3474,61,60,19147,1195,1102,3654,850,112,108194,75546,7462],"class_list":["post-360300","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-cycling","tag-epl","tag-football","tag-formula-1","tag-golf","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-nfl","tag-olympics","tag-premier-league","tag-rugby","tag-sport","tag-sports","tag-sports-mole","tag-teams","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/360300","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=360300"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/360300\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/360301"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=360300"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=360300"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=360300"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
