Man Utd misses out as "target player" rejects move to the Red Devils.
The Athletic, a prominent English media outlet, reported that Miles Lewis-Skelly, the English left-back for Arsenal, wishes to continue playing at Emirates Stadium despite interest from Manchester United, the Red Devils.
Previously, rumors suggested that Lewis-Skelly had been named as a target for Manchester United. However, recent reports indicate that Lewis-Skelly intends to stay with Arsenal and compete for a place in Mikel Arteta's team.
Lewis-Skelly has made it clear that he wants to remain at the club he has loved since childhood and is fully committed to making his mark in Arteta's plans for the upcoming 2026/27 season.
Although his performances have attracted interest from the Red Devils, the 19-year-old is happy at Arsenal and not interested in leaving. He is focused on fighting for a starting spot next season, having played regularly during Arsenal's pre-season.
He has previously competed for a starting position during his career at Arsenal and sees no reason why he cannot do so again in the 2026/27 season.
Currently, there are no signs of any Arsenal players leaving, but the media emphasize that departures are expected before the transfer window closes. The club is aware it may need to be flexible with its plans. For now, Lewis-Skelly remains an Arsenal player.
