Manchester United chiefs are already taking to the drawing board with plans of how they can bolster the squad ahead of the 2025/2026 campaign.

One position which will undoubtedly need a revamp come the summer is the midfield, with the likes of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen facing uncertain futures at Old Trafford.

The latter’s contract will expire in June 2025, and despite his recent revitalisation in form, it’s highly unlikely the club will opt to extend his tenure.

It’s almost safe to say that neither of the senior Reds would be playing for United currently had INEOS been at the reins when they were available. Targeting younger signings is at the forefront of the new owners’ transfer policy, which has materialised in the likes of Leny Yoro (18), Sekou Kone (18), Manuel Ugarte (23) and Joshua Zirkzee (23) all joining in the summer window.

As such, TeamTalk claims that Adam Wharton is currently sitting atop Dan Ashworth and co’s shortlist as the ideal acquisition to partner Kobbie Mainoo from next season.

United plot 2025 move for Palace starlet

Crystal Palace secured their ‘jackpot’ signing from Blackburn Rovers at the beginning of the year, and he has played an integral role at the heart of their squad – so much so that his notable performances in the Premier League led to him earning a maiden England call-up before representing his nation at Euro 2024.

Football Talent Scout Jacek Kulig, who’s been tracking the youngster’s development for some time, says it’s Wharton’s ‘technique, tempo, intelligence, and vision’ that set him aside from his agemates, making it no surprise he’s being targeted by a host of top European sides.
