The 19-year-old shone for Arsenal in the final weeks of the 2025/26 campaign, as Mikel Arteta's boldly started him alongside Declan Rice in Arsenal's UEFA Champions League final loss to PSG, in a move that appeared to be a real show of faith in him from the Gunners boss.
However, the signing of Bruno Guimaraes has placed more focus on his starting chances in the months ahead, with Piero Hincapie and Riccardo Calafiori both ahead of him a left-back.
As part of the ongoing speculation, widespread transfer reports have claimed United and Chelsea were both 'offered the chance' to sign the England international if Arsenal's £45-50M valuation was met by either club.
Both sides are open to a possible offer, but as per BBC Sport, Lewis-Skelly has told Arteta he wants to stay and fight for his place following talks between the pair during Arsenal's preseason campaign.
After signing a five-year contract last summer, Lewis-Skelly wants a chance to prove himself, and with Rice unlikely to be at full power until September he could be given a fresh opportunity at the Emirates Stadium.
