Manchester United 'make contact over Bristol City youngster Alex Scott'

Manchester United have reportedly registered an interest in signing Bristol City youngster Alex Scott.

New head coach Erik ten Hag is currently preparing for the club's Premier League opener with Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday having already made three first-team additions.

Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia and Christian Eriksen could all make their debuts against the Seagulls, but the Red Devils remain in the market for more fresh faces.

An experienced central midfielder is high on Ten Hag's list of priorities, as his another player who can either operate on the flank or down the middle of the attack.

Nevertheless, according to The United Stand, United are giving consideration to trying to sign versatile midfielder Scott before the end of August.

Despite not being due to turn 19 years of age until later in August, Scott has already made 43 first-team appearances for the Bristol City first team.

As many as 38 of those outings came in the Championship during 2021-22, the teenager contributing four goals and two assists.

The England Under-19 international still has three years remaining on his contract, meaning that Bristol City will not necessarily be in a rush to cash in on their most prized asset.

However, there may be a certain figure that could tempt the second-tier into a sale during the final weeks of the summer transfer window.

That would free up funds for Nigel Pearson to make a number of new signings in a bid to aid Bristol City's efforts to challenge for a playoff spot.

Furthermore, the report adds that United would be prepared to allow the Robins to retain the services of Scott on a season-long loan should they so wish.

Tottenham Hotspur were also linked with Scott earlier this year but the North London outfit have, so far, failed to build on that alleged interest.

While a transfer fee has not been mentioned, Bristol City are unlikely to contemplate a sale for anything less than £10m. body check tags ::
