Manchester United has redirected its attention to Aurelien Tchouameni and Alex Scott after missing out on Mateus Fernandes. United deemed Fernandes too costly at £85 million, and he has since joined Tottenham Hotspur. Tchouameni, currently at Real Madrid, is highly regarded but his departure has not yet been confirmed. Bournemouth's Scott is also on United's radar, though they seek to retain him and want a new contract. If Bournemouth entertains offers, they might demand around £80 million, raising questions about United's earlier decision regarding Fernandes.
