Former England midfielder Jack Wilshere has advised Arsenal defender Myles Lewis-Skelly to reject transfer interest from Manchester United and stay to fight for his place at the Emirates Stadium.
Recall that the Red Devils has explored and prepared a potential transfer bid as they look for cover at left-back.

With Riccardo Calafiori in place as first-choice at left-back, backed up by Piero Hincapie, Lewis-Skelly could be tempted by an exit, and Arsenal will push United for in excess of £50M as a transfer fee.
However, Wilshere in a chat with Sky Sports stated that the teenager should remain with Mikel Arteta’s squad, noting he has the quality required to succeed and break into the team despite recent competition from Riccardo Calafiori.
“Last year was interesting for Myles, because I think he’s probably never experienced that,” Wilshere told Sky Sports.
“The academy did a good job of giving him the right challenge at the right time, but then all of a sudden he’s faced a bit of adversity. I was really happy for Myles and the way he managed it.

“I’d like to see him stay and fight for his place, because I believe he’s good enough to find his way in that team.”
Lewis-Skelly has been a versatile and rising star for Arsenal, shining in both left-back and central midfield roles.
He overcame early-season adversity to lock down an important role under Mikel Arteta, earning praise for his athleticism, ball-carrying, and composure in high-pressure matches.
