Fichajes has reported that Manchester United are targeting Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton in the upcoming summer transfer window. The 21-year-old English midfielder has impressed everyone with his performances at Palace. Recent reports also state that he is valued at €80 million. The Red Devils have shown an interest in securing his services.
Ruben Amorim and his club do have the money to pay that amount. He is one of the best young midfielders in the Premier League and could only grow while playing at Old Trafford. Amorim needs more quality in the midfield. They need profiles who can control the tempo of the game, show composure on the ball, and has a good vision.
Adam Wharton is a young, intelligent midfielder with exceptional vision and passing range. Wharton’s composure on the ball, combined with his work rate off it, showcases his potential as a future top-tier midfielder. Therefore, he will be a perfect candidate to feature in the middle of the park for United, and he perfectly aligns with what the Red Devils currently need in the middle of the park.
Palace will definitely want to make the most profit out of their prized asset. Defensive midfielders of the quality of Wharton are prized assets, and he is also wanted by Manchester City as well. So, it remains to be seen if the Red Devils can fight with their arch-rivals and secure his signature. The player would definitely want to join an elite club and take his career to the next level.
Juventus are favourites to sign Rasmus Hojlund from Manchester United
JuveLive has reported that Juventus are targeting Rasmus Hojlund of Manchester United in the upcoming transfer window. The Red Devils are looking to offload players who are not part of the long-term plans of Amorim and want to make profit by selling them. The striker stunned the world with his performances for Atalanta, which made Manchester United spend £72 million to sign him.
The Danish striker had a lot of potential, and United were excited with his performances in the debut season. However, Hojlund has failed to shine in the second season, and doubts have crept in regarding his long-term future at the club.
Rasmus Hojlund has impressed with his pace, strength, and clinical finishing. His knack for positioning himself in scoring zones is remarkable for his age. Hojlund’s physicality allows him to hold off defenders, while his energy in pressing makes him a dynamic forward. Therefore, he can definitely be a strong candidate to replace Dusan Vlahovic at Juventus, who is facing an unclear future in Turin.
Hojlund has scored two goals in 19 matches so far in the Premier League 2024/2025 season. His goal involvement equates to 0.16 per 90 minutes and his non-penalty xG per 90 minutes is 0.18. The Danish international has appeared in 19 matches this season in the Premier League, playing a total of 1115 minutes. Hence, he would definitely want to move to a place where he will play more.
