Manchester United have been linked with a move for the Crystal Palace star, Adam Wharton.
Multiple top clubs are keen on the 21-year-old central midfielder, and Manchester United have expressed their interest in the player as well. According to a report from Fichajes, Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Manchester City are in the race as well.
Adam Wharton would be an excellent addition
The midfielder is likely to cost around £100 million, and it remains to be seen whether Manchester United decide to make a move for him in future. It is highly unlikely that the player will be allowed to leave the club this summer, especially with the window closing tomorrow. Any move for the player might have to wait until next summer.
The 21-year-old is a phenomenal talent with a bright future, and he could be an excellent long-term investment for Manchester United. They need someone who will help them improve defensively in the middle of the park and control games better. The England International fits the profile, and he could be the ideal acquisition for them.
Wharton is an elite prospect
The midfielder is highly rated across Europe, and his former teammates have heaped praise on him.
Eberechi Eze said to BBC: “Playing with him at Palace, I’ve got used to seeing the way he plays and understanding him. He’s very calm, composed, and a joy to play with.
“For someone so young, he’s very mature and very wise. When you speak to him, it feels like you’re speaking to someone older than you, that’s the type of person he is. He’s an incredible player.”
Whoever ends up signing the 21-year-old could have a future star on their hands. Manchester United will probably need to secure Champions League qualification in order to attract a player of his potential. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
