Manchester United youngster Demetri Mitchell is reportedly a target for Bournemouth as they consider their options at left-back.
The Red Devils youngster has been on loan at Hearts after being sent to Tynecastle for a second spell to gain further experience.

However, he is out of contract in the summer and with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer only in temporary charge, it remains to be seen if he will be offered fresh terms.
Other clubs are monitoring his situation carefully and the Cherries are thought to be keen.
Eddie Howe is believed to be searching for a new left-back, with Charlie Daniels now 32 and summer arrival Diego Rico failing to impress.
Signing a 22-year-old for free would undoubtedly tempt the boss as he looks for a long-term replacement for stalwart Daniels, who has been at the Vitality Stadium since 2012.
Mitchell was part of United’s summer tour to American but the Red Devils’ reticence to tie him down suggests he will be allowed to leave but the Cherries may need to move quickly following other reports that Burnley are also monitoring his situation.
