Manchester United is looking for a new midfielder and According to TeamtalkA signing in January is not excluded with a shortlist with three men made by the Old Trafford officials while looking to strengthen an understaffed area in their team.
Crystal Palace star Adam Wharton is at the top of their wish list, which also includes Brighton & Hove Albion star Carlos Baleba and Al Hilal’s Ruben Neves. Baleba is a player who has wanted United since the summer, while Neves was also on their radar earlier.
Ruben Amorim is currently only able to count Casemiro to consistently play in a double pivot, because Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte struggled for form and fitness, forcing Bruno Fernandes to play in a deeper position than usually.
After he was agreed from Antony on a permanent deal and Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford on loan, the Red Devils have cleared an essential room in their wage budget, which may be sufficient to help them make a major signing of January.
Wharton and Baleba are difficult to transfer in January
January -Transfers for Adam Wharton and Carlos Baleba would be difficult positions for Manchester United, especially considering how important they are for Crystal Palace and Brighton & Hove Albion respectively.
Whartons Asking price was £ 69 million A few weeks ago, and although he likes to leave Selhurst Park, the Eagles hope to hold him until at least the end of the season in contrast to punishing his sale halfway through the campaign.
Likewise, Bareba is also an important fixture in Brighton’s plans and very possible, a winter current for him may be a little too early for Man United to afford, since his price tag is expected to be north of the £ 100 million figure.
That said, Ruben Neves seems to be the easiest proposition for the Red Devils while he is approaching the end of his contract in Saudi Aarabia and has thought about returning to Europe. That is why it is unlikely that his transfer costs are very high.
Neves is still only 28 and has a good part of his career for him, so Man United would have an experienced medium term in their engine room in the Portuguese international, who also played in the Premier League earlier.
It will be interesting to see how much money MAN United would have available for their January transfers, but regardless of transfers for Adam Wharton and Carlos Baleba may have to wait until next summer.
