Manchester United are set to take on Porto in the Europa League later tonight in a game that seems to be must win both for the club and Erik ten Hag.

The results so far this season have been an admonishment despite a summer of heavy backing.

The club has signed a number of talented players to the squad like Matthijs de Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui, Joshua Zirkzee, Manuel Ugarte and Leny Yoro. Except for the last name on the list, the rest of the players are already a key part of Ten Hag’s plans for the season.

Despite the lack of performances on the pitch, the club continue to be linked with prospects for the future. As per Team Talk, Man Utd prepare to push to try and sign Crystal Palace midfield star, Adam Wharton.

Widely regarded as one of the best young English talents going around, the Eagles value the 20-year-old at around £100m. Palace are aware that they have a gem on their hands and want to make sure they make every penny out of his eventual sale.

Incidentally, back in the summer, former United player Paul Parker praised Wharton and said that he thinks the 20-year-old is better than Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes. Here is what he had to say:

"His range of passing is fantastic. He very rarely gives it away. He's always positive with his passing as well. Very, very positive. I think he's got a long range. His longer range of passing is good. Bruno's is good, but I think he's better. He doesn't give the ball away as cheaply as Bruno."

Wharton might have a ceiling higher than Bruno Fernandes but the two are very different players and comparing them would be like comparing apples to oranges. The two don’t even play in the same position, preferably.

Should Man Utd decide to sign Adam Wharton, he would be an excellent addition. It remains to be seen how much the Red Devils are ready to pay and what Palace finally agree on.

It’s too early to make prophecies on the 20-year-old and let’s see how it goes.
