£50m midfielder agrees to join Manchester United this Summer
According to Metro, former Manchester United defender Paul Parker has advocated for his former club to pursue Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton, asserting that Wharton’s passing ability surpasses that of Bruno Fernandes.
Wharton, who joined Crystal Palace from Blackburn Rovers for £22m in February, swiftly made an impact in the Premier League and has already attracted interest from top clubs like Bayern Munich and Manchester City.
Parker emphasized United’s need to enter the race for Wharton’s signature this summer, highlighting Wharton’s exceptional passing range in an interview with mybettingsites.co.uk: “His range of passing is fantastic. He very rarely gives it away. He’s always positive with his passing as well. Very, very positive. I think he’s got a long range. His longer range of passing is good. Bruno’s is good, but I think he’s better. He doesn’t give the ball away as cheaply as Bruno.”
Discussing the potential transfer, Parker suggested that Palace would likely entertain offers around £50m for Wharton, given his impact and the club’s recent form: “If you’re Crystal Palace unless someone comes in with a really, really stupid offer you’re not going to let him go. Especially the way they finished the season. The manager is going to want to try and keep that going because the way they finished the season was incredible. The football they were playing had gone to another level, so he’s going to want to keep that level going.”
Parker also reflected on Wharton’s delayed ascent to the Premier League, expressing surprise that the midfielder remained in the Championship for as long as he did: “How much of that can go back into building a team? You’re not going to go and get another one like him, but you could go out and get someone different who has the same impact. And that’s the way a team like Crystal Palace will look at it.”
He further speculated on Wharton’s potential at a top club, positing that a move to Manchester City or Liverpool might not have provided the same opportunities: “He’s made the forward step in Crystal Palace. Easily made the next step to be perfect. If he had gone to, say Man City or if he had gone maybe to Liverpool or anything like that he wouldn’t have. He wouldn’t have started as much because they wouldn’t play him.”
Parker’s endorsement underscores Wharton’s burgeoning reputation and potential, urging Manchester United to consider him a viable option in their quest for midfield reinforcements.
