Man Utd prioritize Lewis Hall over Myles Lewis-Skelly in left-back search

Manchester United are reportedly maintaining their focus on Lewis Hall as their priority left-back transfer target, choosing not to pursue Arsenal's Myles Lewis-Skelly. The club has also been offered the opportunity to sign Lewis-Skelly, who has been utilized at left-back for Arsenal, but sources indicate no interest in his acquisition.

The Red Devils have previously signed midfielders Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans this summer and aim to add another central midfielder before the transfer window closes. However, strengthening the left-back position, with the aim of finding a long-term successor to Luke Shaw, is also a key objective.

Lewis Hall has been identified as the primary target for the left-back role. While Newcastle United are reportedly hesitant to sanction a deal, especially after significant player sales, Hall himself is understood to be keen on a move to Old Trafford. His potential transfer could present an early challenge for Newcastle's new head coach, Matthias Jaissle.

Lewis-Skelly, a 19-year-old academy graduate, was previously offered to United in January for approximately £60 million. Arsenal may need to sell players to fund new signings, and a sale of Lewis-Skelly would represent pure profit. Chelsea have also been approached regarding the player.
