Manchester United intends to make an offer of 70 million euros this winter for Crystal Palace's star, Adam Wharton (21 years old), which evolves as a midfielder.
The 21-year-old central midfielder has been closely watched by Ruben Amorim and the team scouts in recent weeks and is one of the favorites of “Old Trafford” in their desire to strengthen the middle of the land.
If this attempt to bring the new English international in winter will not be a successful one, the “red devils” will return in the summer, according to Sportal.bg. Wharton has become the number one target in recent weeks, after recently, it was believed that this position was occupied by Carlos Baleba from Brighton.
However, the decrease of the form of the player “Pescărușilor” in the current campaign convinced those in Manchester that the midfielder does not have the quality to succeed in United.
The United people want to provide some of Wharton's transfer by the separation of Kobbie Mainoo, who gets less and less chances from Amorim and will almost certainly want to leave in the winter to get more confidence at another club.
Wharton has played 10 matches for Crystal Palace this season, in all competitions. United does not have the best championship start. It's 10th place, with 10 points.
Next summer, Manchester United will be left without Casemiro, whose contract expires, and speculation says it could be followed by Captain Bruno Fernandes, for which there is a very powerful interest from Saudi Arabia.
