💨 Abstract

Manchester United is exploring the option of signing Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton as an alternative to Brighton's Carlos Baleba for their midfield. Despite Wharton's impressive performances for Palace and England, both clubs are reluctant to sell him this window. Former United player Rio Ferdinand lauds Wharton as a 'Michael Carrick-esque' player who could significantly benefit the team. Meanwhile, Ferdinand also endorses Manchester United's young Kobbie Mainoo as a capable alternative for the midfield role.
