Myles Lewis-Skelly fell out of favour under Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta last season (Picture: Getty) Arsenal legend Lee Dixon says he ‘would swap’ Myles Lewis-Skelly for Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford were the opportunity to present itself this summer. Lewis-Skelly broke out of Arsenal’s academy ranks to establish himself as a genuine first-team star two years ago, making 23 top-flight appearances across an outstanding debut season with his boyhood team. And while Lewis-Skelly got his hands on the Premier League trophy at the end of the club’s title-winning season last term, it proved a much trickier campaign for the 19-year-old from a personal perspective. The versatile teenager, a product of Arsenal’s Hale End academy, fell out of favour as Riccardo Calafiori nailed down his spot at Mikel Arteta’s first-choice left-back with a series of excellent performances.

There was a resurgence from Lewis-Skelly towards the back-end of the season, though, and he became the second-youngest player – after Trent Alexander-Arnold – to start a Champions League final in May, albeit in defeat. But with Arsenal adding further strength to their midfield in the shape of £75million arrival Bruno Guimaraes, it appears Lewis-Skelly’s path to regular first-team minutes could be further blocked heading into the new campaign. Manchester United have been keeping close tabs on the situation and are reportedly plotting an offer with a view to prising Lewis-Skelly away from the Emirates before the summer transfer deadline. Lewis-Skelly faces an uncertain future in north London (Picture: Getty) Ex-Arsenal right-back Dixon would swap Lewis-Skelly for Rashford (Picture: Getty) While the Gunners are believed to have ruled out the possibility of Lewis Skelly leaving, Dixon could see the sense in sanctioning a move – especially if a player such as Rashford is thrown into the mix as a makeweight in any potential deal. ‘Would I swap them? You know what, I probably would,’ the ex-Arsenal and England full-back told BestBettingSites. ‘That’s nothing against Myles Lewis-Skelly; it’s about giving him the freedom to go and expand his game elsewhere.‘With Marcus Rashford, he’s a player who needs an arm around his shoulder, and Arteta would be great for him. Rashford spent last season on loan at Barcelona (Picture: Getty) ‘Give him that love, give him the freedom to play on that left side, and yeah, I’d like to see him in an Arsenal shirt.’ Though Dixon has some ‘reservations’ about signing Rashford, he feels Arteta may be a little short of options in attack following Leandro Trossard’s recent departure for Besiktas. ‘I have my reservations about whether he’s consistently a top-class player,’ he added, ‘But based on what Arsenal have in the squad now, he’d be a good addition.’ Lewis-Skelly made only five league starts last season (Picture: Getty) United have been eyeing a move for Lewis-Skelly this summer as they look to bring in a left-back to provide support and competition for Luke Shaw. Lewis Hall is understood to be at the top of United’s wishlist of targets, but Newcastle have been insistent that the 21-year-old England international is not for sale. Racing Santander’s Jorge Salinas and Fulham’s Antonee Robinson have also been linked with the Red Devils in recent weeks. But speaking to Casinolyze, ex-United defender Phil Bardsley urged his former club not to give up hope of capturing Hall without a fight. Newcastle and England star Hall is United’s top target at left-back (Picture: Getty) ‘Luke Shaw has looked sharp in pre-season but with his injury record you always worry,’ Bardsley said. ‘I don’t think you can always rely on him for a full season, especially when United are back in the Champions League, because of the amount of games they’ll have to play. ‘Lewis Hall from Newcastle U
Cristiano Ronaldo will once again be missing when Al-Nassr takes on Almeria in a preseason friendly, leaving supporters wondering why the Portuguese superstar has yet to return to action. Cristiano Ronaldo will once again be missing when Al-Nassr takes on Almeria in a preseason friendly, leaving supporters wondering why the Portuguese superstar has yet to return to action. The fixture carries added intrigue because of Ronaldo’s unique connection to the Spanish club, making his absence even more noticeable ahead of one of the final warm-up matches before the new campaign. The friendly, scheduled at the Cidade do Futebol in Oeiras, Portugal, is expected to provide another important test for both clubs. While Al-Nassr continues preparing under new head coach Ange Postecoglou, Almeria is using the occasion to sharpen its squad ahead of the new Segunda Division season. Almeria heads into the match after gradually building rhythm during preseason under new manager Xavier Garcia Pimienta. Friendlies against Aguilas, Granada, and Real Betis have helped the Spanish side improve fitness levels while allowing the coaching staff to implement a possession-based style of play. Monday’s preparations included another double training session, with recent signing Mikel Vesga fully integrated into the squad. Garcia Pimienta has continued emphasizing collective movement and ball retention as the foundations of his football philosophy. ⚽️ ¡Hoy tenemos un gran partido de pretemporada! 🤩🆚 @AlNassrFC.⌚️ 19:00 h. 🇪🇸📍🇵🇹 Cidade do Futebol.📺 Streaming en nuestro perfil de X. 🤝 Partido patrocinado por @Alawalyre.#PretemporadaUDA pic.twitter.com/c45iiRgZbn— UD Almería (@U_D_Almeria) August 4, 2026 On the opposite side, Al-Nassr is also entering the closing stages of its Portuguese training camp. The Saudi champion has produced mixed results so far, losing to Benfica B before defeating Merida and then suffering a 4-2 defeat against Estrela Amadora. Why Ronaldo is missing the match Cristiano Ronaldo will not feature against Almeria because he is still enjoying an extended recovery period following Portugal’s participation in the 2026 World Cup. According to multiple reports, the decision has nothing to do with injury or fitness concerns. Instead, Al-Nassr has granted its captain additional time off before the demanding 2026-27 season begins. Reports indicate Ronaldo will only return after Al-Nassr completes its preseason camp in Portugal. The Lisbon camp concludes on August 5, after which the squad will travel back to Riyadh before making final preparations for the Saudi Pro League opener against Al-Fateh on August 15. That timeline would leave Ronaldo with roughly one week of full training before the competitive campaign begins. View this post on Instagram Ronaldo still expected to be involved Although he will not appear on the pitch, Ronaldo is reportedly expected to attend the match from the VIP section. Spanish newspaper Marca reports suggest the Portuguese icon will watch alongside businessman Mohammed Al-Khereiji, one of his closest business partners. His presence would allow him to support Al-Nassr while also acknowledging another important part of his soccer career away from playing. The visit has also fueled optimism that Ronaldo’s return to team training is drawing closer after several weeks away from the squad. This preseason friendly carries additional significance because the 41-year-old superstar became a part-owner of Almeria earlier this year. In February 2026, the Portuguese legend reportedly acquired a 25 percent ownership stake in the Spanish club through CR7 Sports Investments, partnering with Almeria owner Mohammed Al-Khereiji.
