Manchester United are apparently eyeing Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton for a potential transfer deal, with reports suggesting that the Red Devils could offer two players in exchange for the 21-year-old talent. Wharton, who has been making waves in European football as one of the most sought-after young players, could be a valuable addition to United’s squad.
The Manchester-based club currently finds themselves in seventh place in the Premier League after seven matches, with new signing Benjamin Sesko finally finding the back of the net in September. Despite bolstering the team with additions like Sesko and Bryan Mbeumo, manager Ruben Amorim is facing mounting pressure as the squad struggles to find their rhythm on the pitch.
During the summer transfer window, United had their sights set on Brighton and Hove Albion’s Carlos Baleba, but were put off by the hefty £100m price tag. With the need for reinforcements in the midfield, Wharton has emerged as a potential target for the club. Reports suggest that United are willing to shell out £60m for the English midfielder, although Palace values him at a staggering £150m. Wharton, who has shown promise on the field, could be tempted by the opportunity to join one of England’s top clubs despite his contentment at Palace.
