Manchester United is preparing one of its biggest deals in recent years, as the website "CaughtOffside" indicated that the club plans to submit an offer worth 100 million euros to sign Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton.

This move is led by head coach Ruben Amorim and the sporting director to strengthen the team's midfield in preparation for the 2026 season, considering Wharton the perfect signing for Amorim's tactical system.

Club officials see the 21-year-old player as a long-term option capable of adding calmness, creativity, and defensive stability that the team has lacked in recent years.

Strengthening the midfield is a top priority for the club, especially with Casemiro expected to leave after his contract expires in 2026, as the club seeks to find a replacement able to support the team’s development and achieve balance in the midfield.

Manchester United's interest in Wharton comes after his outstanding performance with Crystal Palace since joining from Blackburn Rovers, where he became one of the most complete young midfielders in the English Premier League thanks to his smart positioning on the field, precise passes, and ability to control the pace of play under pressure, making him a target for many major clubs.

The report confirms that any potential deal will require a record offer, with Crystal Palace under limited pressure to sell due to the player’s long-term contract, while Manchester United is prepared to offer the required amount to secure the player's signing.
