Arsenal 'offered' Man Utd transfer target - but Mikel Arteta unlikely to act

Arsenal have reportedly been offered the chance to sign Manchester United transfer target Manuel Akanji - but the Gunners are set to pass on a deal for the Swiss defender.

Arsenal and United are both expected to be busy in the transfer market this summer after they missed out on qualifying for next year's Champions League. The Gunners saw a top-four finish slip away in the final weeks of the campaign and are looking to go one better next year, while United will be hoping their new manager, Erik ten Hag, can help them recover from an awful season.

It's common knowledge that Gunners chief Mikel Arteta is in the market for a new No.9 and midfield reinforcements this summer and a host of names, such as Gabriel Jesus, Gianluca Scamacca, Youri Tielemans and Arthur Melo, have already been linked with the Londoners.
