Manchester United are reportedly preparing for a significant midfield reshuffle, and Bournemouth's Alex Scott and Tyler Adams are two players being considered by the club. According to reports from The Sun and The Daily Mail, United manager Ruben Amorim wants to add greater intensity and tactical discipline to his midfield, and the two players are viewed as capable of providing that change. Alex Scott is understood to be one of the prominent young English midfielders being closely monitored by United’s recruitment team. Sources suggest that Scott’s age profile and technical intelligence are consistent with Amorim’s preference for mobile, press-resistant midfielders who can operate in a high-tempo system. United are viewing him as a long-term investment who could develop into a key performer in the Premier League.

According to Graeme Bailey, Manchester United have joined other clubs in seeking to sign Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott in 2026. Bailey also claims that Scott has come to the attention of INEOS during Man Utd’s search for at least one new midfielder in 2026. Man Utd want to sign a Premier League proven midfielder next year, and Scott is now considered a possible new signing for Ruben Amorim, along with Elliot Anderson, Carlos Baleba, and Adam Wharton. It is reported that Man Utd were impressed by Scott’s development while he was at the Championship club Bristol City, and they have now increased their interest in signing him.

Manchester United have been linked with a move for Bournemouth playmaker Alex Scott, according to Team Talk. Scott has recently received his first England call-up.

Graeme Bailey told United In Focus that Ineos scouts have been very impressed by the performances of 22-year-old English midfielder Alex Scott this season and have added him to their shortlist. Bailey also stated that Scott is emerging as a top option being considered by United, that they have watched him on numerous occasions since his time at Bristol City, and that they could soon increase their interest. According to Bailey, United see Scott as someone who can dominate the midfield for them in the future. Bailey has told United fans to keep an eye on Scott and added that he is a possibility for several clubs, including United. Manchester United want to sign a midfielder in 2026, and Scott is a player they are monitoring. Scott's price is not yet known. Scott joined Bournemouth in August 2023, has not yet been capped by England, and has a contract until 2028. He has scored one goal in 11 appearances in the current Premier League season, and Transfermarkt lists his market value at €25.00m.
