Despite the storm, Ruben Amorim retains the confidence of Manchester United‘s management and should remain the English club's manager, at least until this winter. A £60m target has been validated by the management.
Only 10th in the league after 7 matches, Manchester United are experiencing a disappointing start to the season, despite over £222.4m invested during the summer transfer window. Numerous supporters are pushing for Ruben Amorim's departure. However, the Portuguese manager still benefits from his directors' confidence, who are betting on a long-term project with the former Sporting coach.
The frustrating results will therefore change nothing, Ruben Amorim still holds full powers at Manchester United. He is also steering the transfer market and on the eve of the winter transfer window opening, the Adam Wharton trail is intensifying strongly. According to information from the Daily Star, the Red Devils will formulate a £60m offer to Crystal Palace.
Manchester United will break the bank for Adam Wharton
Manchester United's decision is therefore made, the first major recruit of 2026 must be Adam Wharton. The English midfielder was already courted this summer, but he ultimately remained in London. The Manchester management expect to lose Casemiro and/or Kobbie Mainoo. Thus, midfield is the sector that must be improved imperatively. For his part, Ruben Amorim appreciates the 21-year-old player's profile.
However, the competition could be significant. Indeed, Real Madrid are also following Adam Wharton. With already the presence of Jude Bellingham or Trent Alexander-Arnold, the England international (1 cap) could potentially join his compatriots in Spain. This is probably the reason pushing Manchester United to act from the winter transfer window and with a substantial offer.
