Manchester United appear to have identified Adam Wharton as their next ideal midfield transfer target.

It’s no secret that Man United are in need of new central midfielders, especially given Casemiro’s age and the uncertainty around Kobbie Mainoo’s future.

Still, the club decided against signing a new midfielder in what was otherwise a busy summer transfer window.

While linked to several potential signings, it seems that one top performer has emerged as United’s preferred choice ahead of the pack.

The race for United’s next midfielder

One player who was strongly linked with United over the summer was Brighton and Hove Albion’s Carlos Baleba.

A proven Premier League performer, Baleba was a transfer priority for United this summer, although the club was unable to cobble together the necessary funds to sign the 21 year old.

Even though Baleba is believed to be seeking a January exit, United seem intent on signing Crystal Palace star Adam Wharton.

Bid in process

Earlier this week, The Peoples Person relayed that Wharton is set for a contract renewal at Palace, although this doesn’t seem to have deterred United, if a fresh update is to be believed.
