Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney (Picture: YouTube) Wayne Rooney wants Manchester United to perform a transfer U-turn and sign Arsenal star Myles Lewis-Skelly as well as three more players before the window shuts. United and fellow Premier League club Chelsea were reportedly offered the chance to sign Arsenal academy graduate Lewis-Skelly. The 19-year-old struggled for game-time for much of last season but broke into Mikel Arteta’s team towards the end of the campaign and played a crucial role as Arsenal clinched the Premier League title and reached the Champions League final. Despite those performances, Arsenal are reportedly open to selling Lewis-Skelly this summer after bolstering Arteta’s midfield options with the £75m signing of Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United.

As a result intermediaries approached Manchester United and Chelsea to determine their interest in signing England international Lewis-Skelly. Neither club were receptive to the offer, even though Arsenal reportedly only wanted a relatively modest fee of £45m, but Rooney wants his former club to perform a transfer U-turn. Michael Carrick has expressed interest in signing a new left-back this summer to provide cover for Luke Shaw ahead of United’s return to the Champions League. Arsenal offered Myles Lewis-Skelly to Man Utd (Picture: Getty) Lewis Hall has been strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford but Newcastle United have told their Premier League rivals that he is not for sale. Lewis-Skelly could therefore be an appealing option for Carrick, especially as he is just as comfortable in midfield, an area United have been looking to strengthen all summer. ‘I don’t think you can rely on Luke Shaw to be consistent for the whole season and that leads me to Myles Lewis-Skelly,’ Rooney said on Stick to United. Michael Carrick has been urged to bolster his Man Utd squad (Picture: Getty) ‘We’re hearing that he could be available for not that much money, so I think that’s an absolute no-brainer. ‘If you can get a player in who can play left-back and centre-midfield, that’s an absolute no-brainer. He’s young and he’s got a massive future ahead of him. ‘I would like to see another centre back, another central midfielder and another centre forward so there’s still a lot of work to be done. But it’s really important that the players they bring in, the club do it right. Rooney has concerns over Luke Shaw (Picture: Getty) ‘Arsenal have spent a lot over the last couple of years so selling Lewis-Skelly makes some sense as it would be pure profit. I don’t think it would be a great look but I can see why they might sell him. ‘If you’re United and he becomes available it’s a no-brainer, they definitely need to bring in a left-back, that’s a priority for United. ‘I would like to think there’s more players coming in before the window closes, every fan including me wants to see that. But it’s about getting the right players. ‘Looking at the money that has been spent over the last 10 years, it’s been an absolute disaster and the club are probably still recovering from that.’ Lewis-Skelly once again impressed in Arsenal’s midfield as the Gunners beat Manchester City 3-0 in the Community Shield on Sunday. Arteta’s side begin their Premier League title defence against Coventry City on Friday night, while Manchester United face another newly-promoted side, Hull City, the following day.

Dan Burn was the "standout candidate" for captain, says former Newcastle defender John Anderson. The club confirmed the 34-year-old England international would take the armband following Bruno Guimaraes' exit to Arsenal, while Joelinton was given the vice-captaincy. "I think it was probably a no brainer," Anderson told BBC Radio Newcastle.
The Devils' Advocate podcast co-host Joe McGrath says Harry Maguire is going to be "a big player" for Manchester United this coming season.

Maguire has enjoyed a revival under Michael Carrick, starting all 10 matches since his appointment in mid-January.
Nigeria legend Jay-Jay Okocha, one of the best dribblers in history, placed Lionel Messi over Cristiano Ronaldo for one particular reason. Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo‘s dominance over the last two decades has defined modern soccer, sparking endless debates over who holds the title of the greatest of all time. Weighing in on the rivalry, Nigeria legend Jay-Jay Okocha sided with the Argentine icon, citing one fundamental distinction between the two superstars. Born in Enugu, Okocha featured prominently in Nigeria‘s greatest football triumphs, including the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations title and the 1996 Olympic gold medal, while carving out an unforgettable career in Europe. Highlighted by his tenure at Paris Saint-Germain and his surprise free-agent move to Bolton Wanderers, the Nigerian built a lasting legacy as one of the most gifted dribblers in soccer history. Speaking with John Obi Mikel and Chris McHardy on The Obi One Podcast on YouTube, Okocha was asked by the former Chelsea midfielder to settle the debate between the two legends, and he offered an emphatic response: “Messi, Messi. Ronaldo is a special player, but he is for me a goal scorer. He can score 10 million goals. He is a goal scorer. It’s like (Erling) Haaland. Haaland is a goal scorer.“ The Nigerian icon expanded on his view by highlighting the underlying artistic quality that sways the balance toward the Argentine. “But Messi, Messi is on another planet. Messi is an art. Messi was born to play football. He’ll get ill if he doesn’t play football. He’s a genius. I mean, you have to give it to him,” he said. Okocha also praised the remarkable consistency achieved by both icons throughout their careers, noting that while Cristiano Ronaldo’s success stems from relentless work ethic because “he’s not the most gifted player,” Messi operates on pure instinct. “But when it comes to natural gifted player, someone that is born to play football, someone that plays with ease, that doens’t force anything, like it’s his playground, is Messi,” the legend added. One ‘maverick’ placed just above Okocha In an era defined by classic playmakers like Rui Costa, Juan Roman Riquelme, Dennis Bergkamp, and Paul Scholes, Jay-Jay Okocha stood out as an exceptionally skilled midfielder who dismantled defenders with body feints, step-overs, and sudden bursts of acceleration. His flair and creativity earned him lasting status as an icon of individual artistry, a level of reverence few players ever achieve. When asked whether any fellow maverick possessed superior skill to his own, Okocha passed over a distinguished list of names including Gheorghe Hagi, Guti, Roberto Baggio, Nwankwo Kanu, Eric Cantona, David Beckham, and Zinedine Zidane. However, he singled out one former teammate above everyone else. Okocha acknowledged that Brazilian legend Ronaldinho stands as the lone player superior to him in raw dribbling ability and ball mastery. “Maybe because I had the privilege to play with him, to really see his talent and appreciate it,” Okocha stated.
