Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has urged the club and Chelsea to sign Arsenal youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly. This comes amid reports that the 19-year-old was offered to both clubs, and fans have been reacting.
Expressing huge admiration for Lewis-Skelly on his YouTube channel, Ferdinand insisted that any deal between £60m and £70m would represent excellent value for MUFC this summer.
Rio added that MLS is a young and talented player who can offer top quality in multiple positions on the pitch.
His words, “If I’m Manchester United right now I say press the green button and buy him, take him, right now.
What a player, a top player. He was a massive part of the team when he was brought in towards the end of the season. He contributed to Arsenal winning the league, he was brilliant and came in and produced.
If he’s on the market and he’s a good price you have to take him. The good price I’m saying is £60m or £70m.
If that’s the case, get the chequebook out, slap it down and sign him. No questions asked, I would take him.
He’s young, a huge talent, can play in two positions and I think mentally he’s made of the right stuff.
The left-back position at Manchester United is not a problem because we’ve got Luke Shaw who played a lot of games last season and stayed fit.
But if he does get injured we haven’t got a natural left-back sitting there. Dorgu is more of a left-winger now and Mazraoui and Dalot aren’t full left-backs.
So that’s an area I think you can bring in someone like Myles Lewis-Skelly and he can play man, definitely.”
