Manchester United have reportedly not given up on the potential transfer of Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott just yet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 22-year-old has shone for the Cherries and it seems inevitable that he\u2019s going to end up moving to a big club sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

Man Utd might not be too keen to over-pay for Scott, who is valued at \u00a380m, but it seems they\u2019re not ruling themselves out of this deal just yet, according to the Sun.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils have already reportedly wrapped up a deal to sign Ederson from Atalanta, according to BBC Sport, and it seems Scott is next on their list.<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen if United will definitely end up making Scott a priority, but it does seem that their plan is to make a second midfield signing.<\/p>\n

Who else could Manchester United sign in midfield this summer?<\/h2>\n

If they don\u2019t move for Scott, it seems MUFC have a few other names in mind as well, according to Fabrizio Romano on his YouTube channel.<\/p>\n

The Italian journalist has also named Real Madrid\u2019s Aurelien Tchouameni, Chelsea\u2019s Andrey Santos, and Brighton\u2019s Carlos Baleba as names on the club\u2019s radar this summer.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, this perhaps suggests the Scott links might not be as concrete as others have made them sound.<\/p>\n

Could Alex Scott to Arsenal be more likely?<\/h2>\n

That certainly ties in well with other reports, including our own on Arsenal making Scott a priority alongside Newcastle\u2019s Bruno Guimaraes.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also been talk of Chelsea eyeing Scott, according to Simon Phillips, though that could hinge on whether or not Santos ends up leaving.<\/p>\n

In short, this whole midfielder merry-go-round still seems to be at a relatively early stage, so we might not know too much more about it for a little while yet.<\/p>\n
