"His ability to dictate play from deep fits perfectly into Ruben Amorim's tactical setup. They made an approach in the summer, but Palace rejected it outright. There was late interest in Wharton towards the end of the summer window, but he would have cost 100m at that point. For January, Wharton will more likely cost around 60m as he could be keen to get a move to a club playing in Europe to boost his World Cup hopes with England."
"Wharton has the quality to make it at the highest level, and it would be interesting to see him in a United shirt. Clearly, MUFC are not where they want to be right now, but a signing like Wharton could be transformative for them and give Amorim the kind of midfield playmaker from deep that he so sorely needs. Wharton's playing style is reminiscent of United legend Michael Carrick, and he could prove similarly key to helping the club back to success."
Manchester United are among several clubs pursuing Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton, with Liverpool and Chelsea also showing interest. United view Wharton as an ideal replacement for Casemiro, who is expected to leave at season's end. Wharton can dictate play from deep and fits Ruben Amorim's tactical setup. Palace rejected a summer approach when Wharton was valued around £100m; a January move could cost closer to £60m. A move to a European-competing club could boost Wharton's World Cup prospects with England. Wharton's style is compared to Michael Carrick and could transform United's midfield play.
