Manchester United Transfer News: Swansea's Alfie Mawson Scouted in Fresh Rumours

Manchester United have reportedly scouted Swansea City star Alfie Mawson.

The Sun's Dave Fraser reported United sent one of their top scouts to assess Mawson in Swansea's 1-1 draw with West Bromwich Albion and manager Jose Mourinho—who is eager to improve his options at the back this summer—received "rave reviews" about the 24-year-old.

Tottenham Hotspur are also said to be interested in him and were informed he is valued at more than £40 million.

The likes of Chris Smalling and Phil Jones have been far from convincing of late, while Victor Lindelof—who arrived at Old Trafford last summer from Benfica for £31 million—has struggled to replicate the performances that earned him his move.
