adam Wharton hasโฃ publicly addressed speculation linking him with aโ move to Manchester United, โขacknowledging ongoing discussions about his โขfuture while remaining โfocusedโ on his current club, Crystal Palace. The 20-year-old midfielder, who has impressed in his debut Premierโฃ League season, revealedโข he is flattered by the reported interest โฃfrom United but emphasized โhis โฃcommitment to Palace for the remainder of the campaign.
Wharton’s comments come amidโฃ increasing reports suggesting Manchester United are considering a January bid for the England U21 internationalโข as they seekโ to โฃbolster their midfield โคoptions. Palace signed โWharton from Blackburn โคRovers โขlastโค January for a reported ยฃ22.5โข million, and his performances have โquickly established โhim as a key player under manager Roy Hodgson. Any potential move in January is expected to command a substantially higher fee.
“it’s nice to โฃbe linked with those clubs, it shows I’m doing โsomething right,” Wharton toldโ reporters.”But I’m happy at Palace. โคI’m enjoying my football and I’m learning a lot. I’m focused onโ doing โฃas well as I โcanโ for Palace and then we’ll see โขwhat happens in the future.”
The โmidfielder’s admission โindicates he isโ not actively pushing โขfor a transfer during the current window, but leaves the door open to a possible move in the โsummer.โ Manchester United’s interest stems from their need for a dynamic, โball-playing โmidfielder capable of dictating play and providing defensive โcover – โqualities โฃWhartonโ has demonstrated consistently for Crystal Palace.
