Manchester United have sent scouts to watch Troy Parrott, the former Tottenham striker now at Real Betis, with a £67.5m release clause.

Manchester United are weighing up a move for Troy Parrott, the former Tottenham striker now at Real Betis. The club has sent scouts to Spain to observe the 24-year-old Republic of Ireland international in action for Betis in La Liga and the Champions League.

Parrott, who left Spurs in 2024 to join Dutch side AZ Alkmaar for £6.7m, has a £67.5m release clause at Betis. He impressed during his time in the Netherlands, scoring 51 goals in 97 appearances across all competitions before his £17m move to Spain over the summer.

Since arriving at Betis, Parrott has continued to perform well, chipping in with two goals and one assist in seven matches this season. United are seeking a number nine with potential who can perform immediately, having not signed a new centre-forward in the summer transfer window. The Mirror reports that Parrott's link-up play, physical strength and clinical finishing make him an attractive prospect for the Red Devils.
