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 Wednesday's friendly against Leeds in Dublin.
- While Dixon advocates for the trade, both players maintain current connections to their clubs. There is no guarantee either would entertain a move before the transfer window closes on September 1.
