Tuesday's news headlines suggested Myles Lewis-Skelly could be on the move, with two Premier League clubs reportedly interested.
One source told BBC Sport that Lewis-Skelly was offered to Manchester United in January, but Arsenal say they have not actively offered him to anyone.
United do need a left-back though with Patrick Dorgu, their most recent signing in the position, playing in an advanced role throughout pre-season.
Dorgu was mostly injured after Michael Carrick took charge, but all of his Premier League appearances under the United boss were on the wing or in a wide attacking role.
Luke Shaw started every Premier League game last season, but his overall fitness record is patchy.
United have been linked with a move for Newcastle's Lewis Hall but they accept it would be difficult to sign him, particularly after the departures of Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes from the club.
If they did sign Lewis-Skelly, there is also the option that he could fill the third midfielder position there is still debate over, but the feeling is that United want another natural full-back to challenge for a starting role.
