Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton in the coming months.

According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Manchester United are plotting a £60 million move to sign 21-year-old Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton, and they will look to beat Real Madrid to his signature.

The England international is regarded as one of the finest midfielders in the Premier League right now, and he has all the tools to develop into a top-class player. The youngster has already established himself as one of the best midfielders in the league, and he will only improve further.

Joining Manchester United could be an excellent step up in his career. Even though the Red Devils are not at their best right now, they remain one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them will be hard to turn down.

It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can convince Crystal Palace to sell the player. The 21-year-old is a promising young talent with a bright future, and selling him for £60 million might not be a wise decision. Given the way the market has inflated, Crystal Palace should look to hold out for a lot more money, which is what a report by TEAMtalk has suggested.

Real Madrid interested in Adam Wharton

Meanwhile, Real Madrid are tracking the player as well. They need to add more control and composure in the middle of the park, especially after the departures of Luka Modric and Toni Kroos. The England international would be the ideal acquisition, and he will add control and defensive cover to the side.

He has the technical attributes to play for the biggest clubs in the world, and Real Madrid will be an exciting destination for him. The Spanish outfit are widely regarded as the biggest club in the world, and the opportunity to join them can be hard to turn down for most players.

The 21-year-old is still quite young, and he will only improve with coaching and experience. He could develop into a world-class player. It remains to be seen which of the two clubs manages to get the deal done.
