Adam Wharton is emerging as one of the most sought-after young midfielders in the Premier League. United are reportedly the front-runners in the race to sign the England international. However, the Red Devil&rsquo;s hopes of securing his signature come with one major condition. <\/p><p>Crystal Palace and Manchester United arrive at Selhurst Park on Sunday seeking redemption after midweek setbacks halted their respective momentum. Palace&rsquo;s five-match unbeaten run across competitions ended with a 2-1 UEFA Conference League defeat to Strasbourg. Meanwhile. United were left stunned by a damaging 1-0 home loss to Everton. With both sides sitting side-by-side in the Premier League table, separated only by goal difference, this contest carries significant weight.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#128680;&#128483; &ndash; \"Who would you sign for Man Utd between Carlos Baleba, Adam Wharton, and Elliot Anderson?\"<br><br>Paul Scholes: \"Adam Wharton.\" <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/v0PHOQDm4m\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/v0PHOQDm4m<\/a><\/p>&mdash; UF (@UtdFaithfuls) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UtdFaithfuls\/status\/1994097147160011042?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>November 27, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/atletico-madrid-make-move-for-crystal-palace-captain-marc-guehi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Atletico Madrid Make Move for Crystal Palace Captain Marc Guehi<\/a><\/strong><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adam Wharton Sets Clear Condition for Man United Transfer Move<\/h2><p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/sport\/football\/transfer-news\/man-utd-transfers-adam-wharton-36325641\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>latest reports in English media<\/a>, the Crystal Palace star will reject a move to Old Trafford if Ruben Amorim&rsquo;s side fail to qualify for European competition next season.
