One of the summer’s disappointments for fans at Old Trafford was the transfer market. “The disappointment now is the historically poor start to the season. The squad will be strengthened this winter and the goal is, among other things, to bring in a top midfielder, Alex Scott is high on that list.
Sunday is the fateful day for manager Michael Carrick, when Manchester United travel to Elland Road to face Leeds.

The England midfielder is very likely to leave Bournemouth in the winter transfer window.
Manchester United have resumed their interest in Bournemouth’s Alex Scott, and are looking to sign the midfielder in the upcoming winter window. The Red Devils will add more quality to lift the team after a weak start to the season.
According to Sky Sports and the BBC, the club management at the Vitality Stadium are willing to consider bids of over £80-100 million (€95-118 million) after the player turned down the latest contract extension.
Alex Scott’s no to renewal – and Bournemouth’s sales line
The 23-year-old midfielder – with two caps for England – is under contract until June 2028. Although Bournemouth rejected all bids in the summer, the club’s attitude has changed following a meeting between the player’s agents and management. Now they are open to a transfer in January if the bid reaches the triple digit million pound mark.
Competition in the Premier League – Chelsea and Liverpool are lurking
Alongside Manchester United’s project, Chelsea’s technical department is still following the player closely, and they are joining forces with Liverpool’s interest from the July transfer window. But the financial advantage and the continuous scouting from Old Trafford makes the Red Devils best placed to bear the cost of the negotiations.
Bournemouth’s management will prioritize bids that ensure immediate payment of the amount they demand. The sporting management of the interested clubs is now making financial strategies before the official market opens in January.
If Manchester United’s management formalises a £100 million bid in January, Bournemouth will sell the player – leaving the decision in Alex Scott’s hands.
