  "account": "Manchester United has not abandoned hopes of signing Arsenal player Myles Lewis-Skelly. The English football club remains one of several interested in signing the midfielder, who has become an integral part of the Gunners' team. Despite concerns over his playing time, Lewis-Skelly has maintained his position in the Arsenal lineup, which has made other teams, including Manchester United, consider a move for the versatile player.\n\nManchester United sees Lewis-Skelly as a suitable addition to their squad, particularly as they could benefit from having another option at left-back with Luke Shaw nearing the end of his contract. While Arsenal has expressed a desire to retain the player, his increased involvement in recent games has made a potential transfer more complicated. However, Manchester United has not been deterred by his recent activity and remains committed to pursuing a deal.\n\nUnited is expected to intensify its efforts in the coming days to secure Lewis-Skelly's signature before the transfer window closes. The Gunners, however, have not shown any inclination to consider an offer, given their continued investment in the player. Nevertheless, United's interest in Lewis-Skelly demonstrates their continued efforts to strengthen their squad.",
