Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim will try to capitalise on his team’s victory over Crystal Palace when they play West Ham United on Thursday evening. The Red Devils came from behind to defeat the Eagles at Selhurst Park on Sunday, and Amorim expects his squad to do the same against the Hammers when they visit Old Trafford.
Meanwhile, it has been revealed that United want to recruit an England international next year. According to the Spanish source Fichajes via CaughtOffside, Manchester United are preparing a significant bid to recruit Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton.
According to the source, the Manchester club is planning to make a bid of roughly £70 million for the Englishman, who was included in Thomas Tuchel’s newest Three Lions squad for their last two World Cup qualifiers. Wharton, 21, has had a remarkable ascent since joining Palace from childhood club Blackburn Rovers at the beginning of 2024.
United are confident of landing Wharton in a £70m deal
Adam Wharton appears to be the brain behind the scenes as he walks onto the pitch. Being the team’s brain, he plays in the middle of the field and is the ultimate ball passer. You may picture him as the kid in your class who is always correct!
The argument is because he has the entire pitch in front of him and is aware of the exact location where passing the ball will benefit the players around him. The central midfielder has already made over 60 appearances for the South London club, but his strong performances have sparked curiosity from others.
According to the article, the possibility to join one of England’s greatest teams may appeal to Wharton, who is under contract at Selhurst Park until the conclusion of the 2028/29 season. While United is set to make an initial bid of roughly £70 million, the source suggests Crystal Palace values the midfielder at around £80-100 million.
