"At the top of the list is Adam Wharton, sources close to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside. The 21-year-old Crystal Palace midfielder who has quickly established himself as one of England's brightest young talents. Wharton has impressed scouts with his ability to dictate tempo and control the midfield. Amorim's staff is an admirer of Wharton, with one report claiming that the player is loved' by people at Man United. United's recruitment team believes he could be a long-term solution to their midfield problems."
"United's scouting department is also keeping a close watch on Morten Hjulmand, a player Amorim knows well from their time together at Sporting CP. Amorim sees Hjulmand as a plug-and-play option, someone who already understands his system and could adapt to Premier League intensity without a long adjustment period. Sporting, however, are likely to demand around 50 million, given the midfielder's importance to the Portuguese side."
Manchester United are accelerating plans to strengthen the midfield ahead of the January transfer window, with Adam Wharton top of their shortlist. The 21-year-old Crystal Palace midfielder is noted for dictating tempo and controlling midfield play. United view Wharton as a potential long-term solution, though Crystal Palace are unlikely to sell mid-season without an extraordinary offer. Morten Hjulmand is monitored as a plug-and-play option familiar to manager Ruben Amorim, but Sporting would likely demand around 50 million. United also track Bundesliga alternatives including Angelo Stiller and Aleksandar Pavlovic as additional midfield targets.
