Man United ready to beat Man City to “incredible premier league star” in £70m transfer deal

Manchester United are reportedly gearing up for a battle with rivals Manchester City for one of the Premier League’s finest young midfielders.

The Red Devils need a major shake-up this summer, in what will be their first pre-season under manager Ruben Amorim.

Wharton has previously also been linked with Real Madrid by the Daily Mail, who stated that Palace would likely ask for £70m to let the youngster go

United will hope to swoop in ahead of their rivals, though, as Amorim could really do with rebuilding his midfield around a talent like this

Wharton has previously been described as an “incredible player” by his Eagles teammate Eberechi Eze, as per BBC Sport, and he’s precisely the kind of profile MUFC would’ve signed in the past.

Wharton’s playing style is perhaps reminiscent of someone like Red Devils legend Michael Carrick, while he could also perhaps have a similar impact to that of Declan Rice at Arsenal.

United need a big summer in the transfer market if they are to get back to where they want to be, and Wharton seems an ideal signing to steer them in the right direction
