Manchester United are reportedly preparing a £35 million bid for Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott, according to sources close to the club. The 22-year-old England youth international has impressed since joining Bournemouth from Bristol City in 2023 for an initial £25 million fee.
Scott, who can play as a central midfielder or attacking midfielder, has made 32 Premier League appearances for Bournemouth this season, scoring 4 goals and providing 3 assists. His performances have attracted interest from several top clubs, including Manchester United, who are looking to strengthen their midfield options ahead of the 2026-27 season.
The transfer pathway has opened following Bournemouth's failure to qualify for European competition, which may force them to sell key players to balance the books. Manchester United's bid is expected to be submitted in the coming days, though Bournemouth are likely to hold out for a fee closer to £40 million.
Scott's versatility and technical ability make him an attractive target for Manchester United manager, who is keen to add more creativity to his midfield. The player is reportedly open to a move to Old Trafford, but no agreement has been reached yet.
