Manchester United are reportedly among four Premier League clubs that have kept tabs on Bournemouth winger Matt Ritchie over recent months.
Under-pressure United manager Louis van Gaal has made no secret of his desire to sign pacey wide players during next month's transfer window and it is believed that the Scotland international is on the Dutchman's shortlist of targets.
According to The Mirror, the 26-year-old's development has also not gone unnoticed by Everton, West Ham United and West Bromwich Albion.
The report adds that Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe would be extremely reluctant to part with a player that has scored two goals in the top flight this term.
