Manchester United is preparing an offer of 70 million pounds for Adam Wharton. The English midfielder, currently at Crystal Palace, has become a priority to strengthen the heart of the Red Devils' midfield.

If United achieves its goal, Wharton would arrive in the summer, with the mission of providing passing quality, freshness, and organizing ability to the midfield of the Red Devils.

Why is Manchester United focusing on Wharton?

The 21-year-old midfielder has emerged as one of the brightest prospects in the Premier League since his arrival at Crystal Palace in January 2024 from Blackburn Rovers. He has put together solid performances, earned a place in the English national team, and shown a balance between defensive work and distribution.

Manchester United is going through a transition in midfield: with Casemiro nearing the end of his cycle and Kobbie Mainoo seeing his role threatened, the need for a renewed defensive midfielder is growing. Additionally, the signing of Manuel Ugarte did not meet expectations.

In this context, Wharton represents an ideal profile: energy, work rate, good positional sense, and vision for distributing the game. That's why United seems willing to pay high figures and make a move in the upcoming transfer market.

Crystal Palace won't sell cheap, and Wharton wants to play in the Champions League

Crystal Palace has set Adam Wharton's price above 70 million; some sources estimate his value closer to 80-100 million. Additionally, the player's entourage has made it clear that he will only consider a move if his next destination guarantees European football. Pending United's qualification for the Champions League, any approach must come with that commitment.

In fact, the London club is signaling that they will not facilitate a transfer mid-season. Therefore, the summer window seems the most viable option.

What would Wharton bring to Manchester United?

With the hypothetical addition of Wharton, Manchester United would strengthen its midfield for the future. His defensive profile and work ethic complement the attacking pieces like Bruno Fernandes, providing more balance to the team.

Furthermore, his youth would allow building the midfield for the years to come, gradually replacing an aging Casemiro. The coach's vision—Ruben Amorim—is clear: rejuvenate the squad, ensure intensity, and regain control in key areas. If things progress well, Wharton would arrive as a significant reinforcement. United would make a strong investment in both the present and future, cultivating a more competitive midfield.

Manchester United's interest in Adam Wharton is strategic: it addresses specific squad needs, sporting ambitions, and a long-term vision. The success of this operation will depend on a combination of factors: the player's willingness, Crystal Palace's stance, and United's capability to secure a European spot. If these elements align, Old Trafford will take a significant step towards rebuilding its midfield.
