Manchester United have turned their attention to the Bournemouth midfielder despite talks with West Ham’s Mateus Fernandes.
Scott was part of England’s pre World Cup camp in Florida but is yet to make his Three Lions debut.
The 22-year-old arrived on the South Coast in 2023, swapping Bristol City for the Cherries for a fee reported to be in the region of £25mil.
Scott has made 80 appearances in the Premier League scoring four goals, including the winner at the Emirates in April.
United are looking to strengthen their midfield following the departure of Casemiro as Michael Carrick looks to rebuild the Red Devils ahead of the 26-27 Premier League campaign.
