Manchester United is reportedly preparing a huge bid for Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton with club officials believing that such an offer could persuade the Eagles to part ways with their coveted playmaker. Amorim has been closely monitoring Wharton's development at Selhurst Park and is said to be a big admirer of the midfielder, according to The Daily Star, while Liverpool has also been linked with a move.

Mainoo hasn't started a Premier League match this season and could potentially join Napoli on loan in January, while Casemiro's contract expires next year. The United target emerged as one of Blackburn's top players before moving to Crystal Palace from the Lancashire club for $24M (£18m) in February 2024.

Wharton quickly adapted to the Premier League and secured a place in Gareth Southgate's squad for the Euros that summer. Wharton's standing continues to soar.
