Manchester United have made a fresh approach for Arsenal youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly as they look to test the North London side’s resolve before the transfer deadline.

Transfer insider Indy Kaila reported the exclusive development, stating that a credible Arsenal source had confirmed Manchester United made another enquiry over Lewis-Skelly’s availability.

Myles Lewis-Skelly has emerged as one of Arsenal’s most highly regarded academy products, earning praise for his composure, versatility and his capacity to play both at left-back and in central midfield.

Even so, Arsenal have no immediate intention of selling the England international.

As per Kaila’s update, the Gunners would only think about letting him leave if Manchester United submit a premium bid well above his current market value before the transfer deadline.

A credible Arsenal source confirmed that Manchester United made another enquiry that evening regarding Myles Lewis-Skelly’s availability. Arsenal would only consider a sale at a premium valuation.

In spite of Arsenal’s firm stance, key figures at Old Trafford remain confident that they can put together a package capable of matching the Gunners’ financial expectations.

Manchester United regard Lewis-Skelly as a game-changing talent who could immediately strengthen their midfield setup while also providing a dynamic long-term option at full-back.

With United actively targeting elite domestic talent to improve their squad depth, people inside the club believe that an offer worth more than £50 million could force Arsenal to reconsider their position.

Direct transfers between Manchester United and Arsenal have remained extremely uncommon at senior level, although recent seasons have brought an unusual amount of movement between the two rivals.

The most notable senior deals continue to be defined by Robin van Persie’s landmark move to Old Trafford in 2012 and the major 2018 swap involving Alexis Sanchez and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

However, the relationship between the two clubs has in recent years shifted significantly towards youth recruitment.

United have dipped into Arsenal’s academy on several occasions, bringing in goalkeeper Hubert Graczyk, prolific striker Chido Obi-Martin, and highly rated defender Ayden Heaven.

If Manchester United manage to prise Lewis-Skelly away to Old Trafford, it would represent one of the biggest direct transfers between the Premier League heavyweights since Sanchez left Arsenal.
