Revealed: £80m Man Utd target Adam Wharton wants to leave Crystal Palace for one key reason | OneFootball

Manchester United reportedly have Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton on their list of midfield targets this summer, and he’s keen to leave for a club in the Champions League.

Wharton has impressed a great deal during his time at Selhurst Park, becoming a key player in the club’s FA Cup win last season and winning four caps for England.

Still only 22 years of age, Wharton looks like he has a big future in the game, and it makes sense that he’s now eyeing a big move.

Man Utd are one of his admirers, with Wharton now said to be keen to leave Palace in order to move to a Champions League team, according to the Sun.

Is Adam Wharton right for Manchester United?

We recently used our Transfer Fit rating system to rate United’s midfield targets, with Wharton coming second only to Elliot Anderson on our list.

The England international has, however, also been linked with Liverpool by talkSPORT, who suggest his asking price would be around £80m.

It clearly won’t be cheap or easy to sign Wharton, who will likely attract a lot of interest this summer, but he certainly makes sense as someone for MUFC to make a priority.

The Red Devils need to rebuild their midfield as Casemiro prepares to leave, with an upgrade also needed on the unconvincing Manuel Ugarte.

All in all, Wharton seems like one of the best candidates out there, even if it also makes sense for the club to keep alternatives in mind.

Who else could United sign in midfield?

The Sun’s report also mentions names like Sandro Tonali, Aurelien Tchouameni, and Carlos Baleba.
