Manchester United could turn to Bournemouth for their next signing. The Sun believe that Louis van Gaal rates Matt Ritchie highly and has told his scouts to watch him closely. Ritchie helped get Bournemouth promoted last season and has played well in the top flight so far. Man United are in the market for wingers, but signing Ritchie will not be easy. The Cherries turned down a £7m bid for Ritchie a year ago and he's signed a new deal since.
Bournemouth can't afford to lose Ritchie as they try to stay in the top flight, but that won't stop a club like Man Untied from chasing him if they want him. Ritchie would certainly add some depth to the Red Devils team and provide them with a dependable option, but he's not a typical Man Untied signing. He's neither flashy nor young so it's tough to imagine them making the type of pursuit necessary to pry Ritchie from the Cherries.
