Manchester United have cooled their interest in signing Arsenal midfielder Miles Lewis-Skelly. According to journalist Ben Jacobs, a potential move for the 19-year-old English talent is no longer on the agenda.
While there were earlier reports suggesting Manchester United were assessing the player, sources at Arsenal denied that any formal approach was ever made. Lewis-Skelly's stock has risen significantly following an impressive performance in the Community Shield, where he helped Arsenal secure a 3-0 victory over Manchester City.
The midfielder made 36 appearances across all competitions last season, contributing four assists. His role within Mikel Arteta's side increased steadily throughout the campaign, culminating in him starting for the Gunners in the Champions League final.
Lewis-Skelly remains a key part of Arsenal's plans for the upcoming season, which has effectively ended Manchester United's pursuit.
