Manchester United pursues Bournemouth's Alex Scott amid Liverpool interest

Manchester United is expected to explore a move for Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott after missing out on Mateus Fernandes, who Tottenham Hotspur is set to acquire for £85 million. Bournemouth is determined to retain Scott, viewing him as crucial to their future, and intends to negotiate a new contract that may include a release clause. Liverpool has shown longstanding interest in Scott, who excels in various midfield roles. Despite this, Bournemouth values Scott at approximately £80 million, complicating any potential transfer negotiations. The situation remains fluid as both clubs monitor Scott's contract developments this summer.
