Man Utd news: Alex Scott transfer decision made as £85m agreement reached
Manchester United will be hoping to lead a productive summer window as Michael Carrick looks to shape the squad in his image. The former Red Devils midfielder is preparing to begin his first full season in charge, having guided the club back into the Champions League. He is reportedly eager to make a number of key signings with only eight weeks until the return of club football.
United have already agreed a deal to sign Atalanta midfielder Ederson, who is expected to complete his move to Old Trafford after the World Cup. It's also been widely reported that Carrick wants to add at least one more playmaker before the end of the window. The likes of Alex Scott, Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali have all been linked with the Red Devils over the last few weeks.

Express Sport rounds up the latest headlines coming out of Old Trafford...
United aren't currently planning to make a move for Bournemouth midfielder Scott, who is reportedly valued at around £80million.
According to The Sun, those in power at Old Trafford aren't actively pursuing the 22-year-old, who is attracting more concrete interest from Arsenal.
The newly-crowned Premier League champions have already enquired about Scott's availability but were quickly rebuffed by Bournemouth, who are reluctant to lose him this summer.
Mateus Fernandes has reportedly agreed an £85m move to Tottenham, who have successfully beaten United to his signature.
Spurs submitted the highest offer in negotiations with West Ham, whereas the Red Devils were unwilling to match their valuation of the player, according to The Athletic.
United are now preparing to shift their focus to other targets and it remains to be seen if they will revise their stance on Scott after missing out on Fernandes.
Ruben Amorim is eager to bring Lisandro Martinez with him to AC Milan this summer, according to MilanNews.it.
It's claimed the former United boss wants to sign a left-footed central defender and has earmarked Martinez as the ideal candidate.
There is only a year remaining on the 28-year-old's current contract, although United have the option to extend it by a further 12 months.
