Man Utd face Manu Kone transfer twist; club in 'pole position' for Alex Scott
Manchester United continue their summer midfield rebuild under Michael Carrick, having already signed Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans. The club faces a potential setback in their pursuit of Roma's Manu Kone, as Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli have reportedly contacted Roma with 'concrete interest' in the 25-year-old France international. Kone, who impressed at the World Cup, is said to favour a Premier League move but is not ruling out a switch to Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, United are in 'pole position' alongside Arsenal to sign Bournemouth's Alex Scott, 22. Scott's representatives have held talks with both clubs, and the player is expected to make a final decision within two weeks. Scott reportedly favours Arsenal but has concerns about playing time, which could benefit United. The club is wary of missing out on targets after Al-Hilal agreed a deal for West Ham's Crysencio Summerville, a player United had monitored.
