Manchester United has set its sights on Adam Wharton, the young midfielder from Crystal Palace, with the intention of signing him to their squad before the end of the summer transfer market.

The Red Devils need to reinforce their midfield following the poor performance of several players in their debut against Arsenal in the Premier League and believe that the Englishman is an ideal fit for Rubén Amorim's team.

Trained at Blackburn Rovers, Wharton joined Palace in January 2024 and quickly became one of the most promising players in the Premier League. With just half a year at the club, he was called up by the English national team to participate in Euro 2024, solidifying his status as an emerging talent.

At 21 years old, he has already played nearly 50 games with the London team, providing six assists and demonstrating an ability to orchestrate play in midfield that has attracted the interest of several European giants.

A report from TBR Football revealed that United scouts were present at the recent goalless draw against Chelsea, closely observing the midfielder's performance.

Manchester United's Interest in Wharton

Manchester United has been searching for a player to bring balance to their midfield for some time. Casemiro's age and Manuel Ugarte's inconsistent adaptation, signed from PSG last summer, compel the club to look towards the future.

Initially, the top priority was Carlos Baleba from Brighton. However, the Amex Stadium side has closed the door on his departure, prompting the "Red Devils" to focus their attention on Adam Wharton as a viable alternative.

According to close sources, the board holds the Englishman's profile in high regard, although Crystal Palace does not seem willing to let him go easily.

A Complicated Signing for the Summer

Despite the expressed interest, the transfer will not be straightforward. Palace views Wharton as a key piece of their project and is not in a hurry to sell him. Furthermore, the player has shown no rush to leave the club, complicating Manchester United's aspirations.

The asking price could exceed £40 million, a high sum for a player with just one season at the elite level. Nonetheless, his youth and progression make him an attractive prospect for a team looking to reestablish itself at the pinnacle of the Premier League.

The success of the operation will depend on United's ability to persuade both the player and Crystal Palace in the coming weeks. Wharton fits into the plan to rejuvenate the midfield and could become a natural successor to Casemiro in the medium term.

If the club manages to secure his signing, they would be securing one of the most promising central midfielders in English football. Otherwise, they will need to continue scanning the market for solutions.

Manchester United does not want to miss the opportunity to strengthen its midfield before the season ends, and Wharton appears to be the most logical choice at this time.
