Manchester United is eyeing the 22-year-old England star! Midfield reinforcements lock the core of the Premier League, and Tottenham also joins the competition

Attention, Manchester United fans! The Red Devils' scouting system is fully searching for midfield reinforcements, and an eye-catching name has surfaced - Bournemouth's 22-year-old England midfielder Alex Scott.

Why are you suddenly paying attention to him?

The thing is this. Manchester United had been pursuing Brighton's Carlos Baleba this summer, but the other party's price tag of up to 100 million pounds made the deal deadlocked. Nowadays, Baleba is in poor condition and the problem of insufficient thickness in Manchester United's midfield has been highlighted, forcing the club to turn its attention to other targets.

Who is Scott?

This 22-year-old young midfielder has a lot of background:

· Premier League verification: Bournemouth will spend 25 million pounds to sign him from Bristol City in 2023. This deal now seems to be a great value. He has started 10 games in the Premier League this season and is the absolute main force of the team.

· Comprehensive skills: He is known for his excellent ground coverage and stealing ability. He is also good at advancing with the ball. His range of activities covers multiple positions from the midfielder to the front midfielder. He is hailed as a "special genius" by the British media.

· Praise from famous coaches: Even Manchester City coach Guardiola praised him in 2023: "Incredible player, unbelievable!" Now, he has also been selected for the England senior team and was called up by coach Tuchel.

Manchester United is tempted?

According to reports from team reporters, Manchester United’s scouting team has been paying close attention to Scott since he was at Bristol City. Now, his mature performances in the Premier League have "impressed the recruitment team at Carrington". New Manchester United coach Amorim hopes to sign an athletic midfielder, and Scott's characteristics perfectly fit this requirement.

But the competition is not small!

It is not easy to sign Scott:

1. Tottenham competition: Tottenham Hotspur is also "very interested" in Scott, and a transfer battle may be inevitable.

2. Expensive: Bournemouth regards him as the core, and it is estimated that their psychological price is at least 60 million to 65 million pounds (or even higher) - which is almost three times the original introduction price!

Future Outlook

Manchester United plans to focus on strengthening the midfielder in 2026, and Scott has become an important candidate on the list. In addition to him, Manchester United is also paying attention to Crystal Palace's Adam Walton, Brighton's Baleba, Nottingham's Elliott Anderson and many other midfielders.

Editor's summary:

Alex Scott, the 22-year-old rising star from England, is attracting the attention of wealthy clubs with his actual performance. Whether he can wear Manchester United's red jersey in the future depends not only on his continued growth, but also on Manchester United's determination and skill in the transfer market. This potential deal is definitely worthy of fans' attention!
