- Reports on Friday linked Manchester United with Adam Wharton and said he wants to leave Crystal Palace for a Champions League club, citing tabloid sourcing.
- Former striker Clinton Morrison predicted a summer move and said Wharton could thrive at either United or Liverpool.
- Liverpool were also named in the rumour mill, though one report noted they are not currently prioritising a new midfielder.
- Manchester Evening News said United plan to add at least two midfielders as Casemiro is expected to depart, highlighting a wider rebuild in the middle of the pitch.
