Adam Wharton don open up say e no sabi whether Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner go extend im contract or stay for the club, as Manchester United dey reportedly show interest for am.
The international break don come at the right time for current United manager Ruben Amorim, wey position still safe small after their 2-0 win against Sunderland last Saturday.
Amorim don face plenty criticism because of how United dey play under am — the team never win two Premier League games back-to-back since he take over for November 2024.
The Red Devils don already dey link with different managers, including Oliver Glasner from Crystal Palace, wey go become free agent when im contract expire this coming summer.
As Wharton talk give reporters: “Obviously, there always dey speculation when people contract dey close to finish. But you don see the impact wey he don get here and how we dey play now. The longer he stay, the better for us. But anything fit happen, so we go see.”
United next match na against Liverpool after the international break, and e no go surprise anybody if Amorim face more pressure depending on how that game take end.
Glasner Fit Work as Ruben Amorim Replacement?
One major complaint against Amorim na im system. The Portuguese coach never still fix the flaws wey dey inside im 3-4-2-1 formation.
Glasner too dey use similar formation for Palace, but im own side dey far more organised when dem no get ball. Evidence dey clear — Palace don concede only five goals for Premier League this season, compared to United wey don concede 11.
United problem na say their midfield and defence no dey work as one. The centre-backs no dey step up quick enough to help the midfield, so dem dey always open in the middle.
For Palace side, defenders like Marc Guehi dey always support the midfielders, and even though Palace dey defend deeper, dem still solid. If Glasner eventually land Old Trafford, e no go surprise if he carry that same defensive discipline come United.
Should Manchester United Try to Sign Adam Wharton?
United attack don also dey struggle this season. Players like Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, and Benjamin Sesko don score only three goals between dem for Premier League so far.
The Red Devils dey find am hard to break defensive teams down, and many times dem just dey play long risky passes go front because build-up play no dey work well.
If Glasner enter United, one of im first transfer moves fit be to go after Adam Wharton himself. The English midfielder don show say he get serious quality on the ball and fit bring balance inside midfield.
Pairing Wharton with one defensive-minded player inside double pivot system fit open up the attack better and give more space for creative players like Mbeumo to shine. That kind move fit finally help United step up to another level competitively.
