Manchester United are continuing to assess midfield options.
Recruitment at Old Trafford has already identified several potential targets as the club looks to strengthen under Michael Carrick.
With Champions League football secured, expectations are that investment will be made in the middle of the pitch.
One of the names under consideration is Bournemouth’s highly rated midfielder Alex Scott.
The 21-year-old is now attracting attention from some of the Premier League’s biggest clubs.
Arsenal join race for Alex Scott
Manchester United are among several top-flight sides tracking Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott, with Arsenal and Tottenham also keeping close tabs on the situation, as reported by Sky Sports.
Both United and Arsenal are understood to have made initial enquiries regarding the midfielder, although Bournemouth have made it clear they are not looking to sell.
The Cherries have placed an £80 million valuation on Alex Scott and are not currently open to encouraging offers during the window.
Bournemouth have already opened discussions over a new contract for Scott as they look to secure his long-term future under new manager Marco Rose.
The midfielder, who narrowly missed out on England’s World Cup squad, remains highly valued at the club despite growing external interest.
Tottenham are also understood to be monitoring the situation, meaning Scott is firmly on the radar of multiple elite English clubs heading into the transfer window.
While interest continues to build, Bournemouth remain determined to retain the player unless a significant bid arrives.
For Manchester United, Scott is one of several midfield options being assessed as the club continues to plan its recruitment strategy.
Atalanta’s Ederson is still viewed as a leading target and is widely expected to be the first midfield arrival of the summer if negotiations progress as planned.
With multiple moving parts in the market, Scott’s future is set to remain one of the key midfield sagas of the window.
