Manchester United identify prime transfer target despite being offered 19-year-old

Manchester United have been offered the opportunity to sign the Arsenal defender Myles Lewis-Skelly this summer.

Arsenal are prepared to let the 19-year-old leave the club this summer. The player has been offered to Chelsea as well. It remains to be seen whether Manchester United and Chelsea decide to take up the opportunity and sign him.

There is no doubt that he is a talented young player with a bright future, and he could be an important option for them in the future.

Meanwhile, a report from The Guardian claims that Lewis Hall of Newcastle United is the prime target for Manchester United this summer. They are looking to bring in a young left back who can replace Luke Shaw in the long term.

There is no doubt that Hall is a quality player, and he has established himself as an indispensable asset for Newcastle. He has shown his quality in the Premier League consistently, and he is certainly a better option compared to Lewis-Skelly.

However, Newcastle are unlikely to let the player leave easily. They have already sanctioned the departures of multiple key players like Anthony Gordon, Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali. They will not want to weaken the team any further.

Meanwhile, Hall would be a solid long-term acquisition for Manchester United if they manage to get the deal done. It is fair to assume that they will have to pay well over the odds in order to convince Newcastle to sell the young defender.

Manchester United have returned to the Champions League after an impressive season last year, and they will look to build on it. They will look to close the gap with Arsenal and Manchester City. They need quality players for that to happen.
