Manchester United have been put on transfer alert after news that Bournemouth are looking to sell three of their star names this summer – Callum Wilson, Josh King and David Brooks.
The South Coast side are looking to raise funds to finance a summer rebuild and are prepared to listen to offers for all three. And that may interest United, who have been linked with all three in the past, most recently King who they tried to sign on January transfer deadline day. That fell through though, and they ended-up signing Odion Ighalo on loan instead.
They have also been tracking Welsh international Brooks for some time, especially after he scored 7 goals and provided 5 assists during his breakout campaign last season, although a series of injuries has hampered his progress during this campaign.
Wilson, meanwhile is a proven Premier League striker, who has also been linked with Chelsea in the past.
United are not likely to have things their own way, with Tottenham also interested in signing any of the trio.
