Crystal Palace currently sit 15th in the Premier League, 45 points, 11W-12D-15L from 38 games, with recent form LDLDL. They have scored 41 goals and conceded 51 this season, with a goal difference of -10. They are 40 points behind leaders Arsenal. In their last match, Crystal Palace lost 1-2 to Arsenal. The Eagles have been struggling, with a recent form of 0W-2D-3L (LLDDL). Dwight McNeil is currently sidelined. Manchester United have set their sights on Crystal Palace star Adam Wharton. The 22-year-old English midfielder has impressed with his form at Selhurst Park, playing in 34 league matches last season and netting one goal and grabbing five assists. Wharton is a good tackler of the ball and can sense the danger well to earn possession back for his side inside his half. He usually clears his lines when required and is an accurate distributor of the ball as well. The English sensation can shoot the ball with power from long range and is full of energy and running at the centre of the park. Wharton mainly plays as a defensive midfielder but can also serve as a box-to-box midfielder or an attacking midfielder if asked to do so. He is already quite familiar with the Premier League and won't take much time to adjust to life at Old Trafford. Wharton would inject more quality and depth into Michael Carrick's midfield. He is capable of challenging for a regular starting place at Old Trafford in the coming seasons. At 22, Wharton has the potential to be a world-class player in his position someday. Hence, he would be a great fit for Carrick's needs in this transfer window. With all things considered, Manchester United should focus on trying everything they can to bring him to the Theatre of Dreams this off-season.
