Former Arsenal Defender Says Swap Deal Involving Lewis-Skelly and Rashford Would Benefit All Parties
Dixon says Arsenal could add Marcus Rashford’s pace while Manchester United would gain a versatile teenager who needs more regular minutes.
Former Arsenal defender Lee Dixon suggested a swap deal involving Marcus Rashford and Myles Lewis-Skelly, arguing the exchange could benefit both clubs. Dixon, who made over 450 appearances for the North London club, believes the move would suit all parties.
Marcus Rashford returned to Manchester United after loan spells at Aston Villa and Barcelona, though his long-term future remains uncertain. Myles Lewis-Skelly could exit Arsenal following the club's recent signing of former Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes.
Dixon told BestBettingSites that Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta could provide the freedom Rashford needs. The 19-year Lewis-Skelly offers versatility at left-back and in midfield, addressing areas where Michael Carrick's side is currently looking light.
Arsenal currently seeks a left-sided forward after selling Leandro Trossard to Besiktas. Rashford could make his first Manchester United appearance since December 2024 during the friendly against Leeds in Dublin on Wednesday.
While Dixon advocates for the trade, both players maintain current connections to their clubs. There is no guarantee either would entertain a move as speculation persists before the transfer window closes on September 1.
