Officials from Manchester United's sporting arm, Ineos, have been pursuing Wharton throughout the season.

Wharton suffered a serious injury mid-season, missing a number of games. When he returned, he was instrumental in Crystal Palace winning the FA Cup, with a recent final victory over Man City .

Although Crystal Palace are in the European Cup next season, the London team will find it difficult to keep their key players. Wharton is one of the stars who can leave and he really likes the MU environment.

Liverpool in talks with Florian Wirtz

After reaching an agreement with Jeremie Frimpong, Liverpool are aiming for a new target, Florian Wirtz - the current number 1 star of German football .

Recently, Man City withdrew from negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen due to the high price. On the contrary, Liverpool is ready to break the transfer record to sign Florian Wirtz.

Liverpool's biggest rivals are Bayern Munich. The Kop need to convince the 22-year-old to leave the comfort zone of the Bundesliga and join the Premier League.
