Bournemouth rejects Manchester United's approach for Alex Scott

Summary

Bournemouth has informed Manchester United that midfielder Alex Scott is not for sale this summer. United, having already missed out on several top targets, sought to acquire Scott following failed attempts to sign Elliot Anderson and Sandro Tonali. Bournemouth has been actively working to extend Scott's contract, which currently runs until 2028, and earlier contract offers have been made. As the transfer window progresses, United may need to explore other options to fill their midfield needs.
