Manchester United are eyeing a shock move to sign Arsenal star Myles Lewis-Skelly this summer to bolster their problem left-back position, according to TEAMtalk.
The Red Devils are pushing to overhaul their squad this summer as they push to return to the Champions League, with the midfield expected to be the priority position they look to strengthen.
However, the club are also keen on bringing in a new left-winger and a new left-back to help with current holes in the squad, and it has now emerged that they have already begun to hold internal talks about targets who could arrive at Old Trafford, including a list of options for the defence.

Lewis-Skelly, who has been described as 'elite', has found regular first-team football hard to come by this season at the Emirates Stadium, and it has led to speculation that he could be on the move in the summer.
United are aware that Luke Shaw is entering the final year of his contract and that he needs competition for his place in the squad, with Tyrell Malacia set to depart this summer, while Noussair Mazraoui and Diogo Dalot prefer to play on the right.
Arsenal are understood to be expecting big changes within their squad this summer too, with Lewis-Skelly potentially being allowed to move on, with the club open to allowing him to leave permanently to make a big profit on their books.
As a result, Man Utd have put the teenager on their shortlist of potential targets to strengthen at left-back, although they will face competition from several clubs such as Crystal Palace and Everton, while they also have other options on their list in case a deal proves too difficult to do.

With Man Utd pushing to get back in the Champions League, any signings this summer will need to be of a certain level and experience to ensure they aren't left behind and struggling.
Despite his tender age, Lewis-Skelly has experience of playing at the highest level with Arsenal and competing for trophies in recent seasons, and he also provides versatility that could help the team in midfield at the same time.
It could be a shrewd signing for the club while also weakening rivals, and is definitely one to keep an eye on in the coming months.
