Adam Wharton has been linked with several top clubs but no concrete offer is on the table and the player is not keen on leaving. During a training session, Wharton pointed at the Crystal Palace badge on his chest, signaling his allegiance. Manchester United are keen and have considered him a priority target, but they face competition and other transfer options such as Carlos Baleba. Crystal Palace will be reluctant to sanction Wharton's departure after likely losing Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi. Palace have secured European qualification and will prioritize keeping key midfielders for league and continental campaigns.
During a training session with Crystal Palace, a Sky Sports host asked reporter Gary Cotteril to enquire with the Crystal Palace midfielder about his future, to which the midfielder pointed at the Crystal Palace badge on his chest to establish where his allegiance lies (h/t talkSPORT). Man United could use Wharton Manchester United have been backed to make a move for Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton.
However, the latest revelation from Wharton suggests that Manchester United are unlikely to be able to sign him anytime soon. They wanted to sign Carlos Baleba initially, but Brighton are willing to sell the player. It seems that Manchester United will have to move on to other targets or wait to sign either of the two midfielders in the distant future.
Wharton has all the tools to develop into a top-class Premier League midfielder, and whoever ends up signing him will have a future star on their hands. It remains to be seen where he ends up. Crystal Palace are already likely to lose Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi this summer. They will not want to lose multiple key players in one window.
