Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Red Devils are outlining plans to rebuild their midfield after the season and could seriously consider Scott amid his breakout campaign on the south coast.
The 22-year-old delivered a man-of-the-match display in Bournemouth’s 2-1 win over Arsenal on Saturday at the Emirates, scoring the visitors’ winning goal.
Bournemouth are in a strong negotiating position for the midfielder, who is under contract at the Vitality Stadium until the summer of 2028.

According to reports, Manchester United ‘want’ to sign Scott as part of their summer midfield rebuild, with the Old Trafford side eyeing several key changes in the middle of the park.
United are preparing for Casemiro’s departure at the end of his contract, with the Brazilian set to call time on his four-year spell in Manchester in June.
Uncertainty also remains over Manuel Ugarte’s situation amid the Uruguayan’s limited playing time under Michael Carrick.
As journalist Fabrizio Romano reported, Ugarte has attracted interest from clubs in Italy and was considered by Turkish giants Galatasaray during the winter window.
Scott joined Bournemouth from Bristol City in the summer of 2023 and has registered six goals and five assists in 84 appearances for the Cherries to date.
The ‘amazing’ 22-year-old has been a key player under Andoni Iraola this term, starting 29 of Bournemouth’s 32 Premier League games and registering four goal involvements.
Amid his strong club form, Scott received his first call-up to the England squad for November’s international break but did not come off the bench in the 2-0 win over Albania.
Marcos Senesi
Manchester United appear to have multiple Bournemouth players on their radar ahead of the summer, with defender Marcos Senesi also being targeted.
According to reports in Italy, United are in close contact with Senesi’s representatives ahead of his contract expiry in June and are rivalling Premier League clubs in the race for the Argentine.
Senesi is likely to become the next major name to leave Bournemouth this summer, following Antoine Semenyo’s move to Manchester City in January for £64m.
Iraola’s side parted ways with defenders Milos Kerkez, Dean Huijsen and Ilia Zabarnyi before the season, raising a total of £147m in transfer fees.
