Myles Lewis-Skelly is a potential to leave Arsenal in the summer transfer window, but let's be honest, that's hardly surprising. A move to Man United is not off the cards, and any thought of Chido Obi's nightmare won't be running through Lewis-Skelly's head.
Obi was the latest player to leave Arsenal for Man United, following in the footsteps of Robin van Persie and Alexis Sanchez (albeit without the same heartbreak). Since making the move, nobody has heard of the former Arsenal youngster.
Of course, Obi is still a young player and there is plenty of time for him to become a star at Old Trafford. However, the hype has died around him quite a bit, and who's to say he's even in Man United's immediate plans with Benjamin Sesko becoming pivotal to them?
The same can not be said for Lewis-Skelly, though.
Myles Lewis-Skelly to Man United is not a Chido Obi repeat
Myles Lewis-Skelly is already more established than Obi was when he left Arsenal. Lewis-Skelly was a regular for the Gunners just a few months ago, for crying out loud.
If Lewis-Skelly were to leave Arsenal, he would have immediate game time in mind, not the chance to build his case for the future. He is already lacking game time at Arsenal, and that's probably the reason why he would want to leave.
The World Cup ship seems to have sailed now. Thomas Tuchel gave Lewis-Skelly a chance, and he impressed by scoring in front of the England faithful. However, since then, it has only gotten worse for Lewis-Skelly. The youngster who once eyed the World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico is now planning for the next one in 2030.
Myles Lewis-Skelly CAN make it at Man United
Admittedly, it would not be easy for Lewis-Skelly if he made the trip to Old Trafford. Man United, as much as they are mocked, are having a great season, Carrick has got them playing the way they should, and there is a strong competition for places in Manchester, just like there is in London.
All that in mind, there's no reason why he couldn't displace Casemiro in the centre of the park, which is an opportunity that'd excite him. While he can play left-back, it feels like his best shot in Manchester would be in the midfield. Heck, he's got more chance of making the United midfield than the Arsenal one.
How Arsenal play their cards now is extremely important. It seems like a no-brainer to make this a loan move rather than permanent.
However, if it has to be permanent, and Lewis-Skelly ends up pushing for it, Arsenal had better include some pretty lucrative clauses on their end. This kid is going to be a star, and fail to prepare, prepare to fail.
