United’s January pursuit of Alex Scott under threat after major Chelsea decision
Story updated
The story in brief
6-second readManchester United may miss out on Bournemouth's Alex Scott following a major decision from Chelsea ahead of the January transfer window.
Rumour · This claim is unconfirmed.
From the source
Manchester United remain linked with a move for Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott in 2027, but it appears that the player could end up elsewhere. The English midfielder was on the Red Devils’ wish list in the summer following an impressive run with the Cherries.
Scott registered four goals and one assist in 39 appearances across competitions, and was identified as a possible heir to the outgoing Casemiro at Old Trafford.
However, United opted to sign Andrey Santos, Youri Tielemans and Carlos Baleba instead in a bid to revamp their midfield. Unfortunately, none of them has managed to live up to expectations so far.
