Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Manchester United are interested in Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton, but the transfer insider insists that he is going nowhere in the January window.
The England international is emerging as one of the most sought-after commodities in the Premier League, following a hugely impressive 18 months at Crystal Palace.
When fit, Wharton is already one of the most formidable midfielders in England's top flight, despite his tender age of 21. Unsurprisingly, then, he is being linked with a whole host of clubs.

Chelsea are said to be interested, as are Real Madrid and Man Utd. Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that the latter two are keeping tabs on the youngster.
Even Palace chairman Steve Parish has acknowledged that Wharton is bound to eventually depart, as he will have aspirations of regularly playing in the Champions League.
Romano confirms Wharton decision
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano has reiterated that Man Utd 'appreciate' Wharton, but he made sure to emphasise that the Red Devils are far from his only admirers.
"What's the situation as of today? For January, Palace have no intention to negotiate. They want Wharton to stay at the club, to be a really important part of the story," Romano said.
"Then, 2026 summer transfer window, maybe after the World Cup - we will see if Wharton will be there or not, he has chances - Palace will assess the situation with the player, also based on proposals."
"We have many links with Man Utd. I can confirm that Man Utd appreciate the player, but it's not only Man Utd. Trust me, it's several clubs appreciating this boy. He is really appreciated, he is considered one of the best talents in his position in England.
"At the moment, nothing has been decided in terms of bid, numbers. If you see 30, 40, 50 million - [there is] nothing at this stage. Palace are very focused on this season with the player, and the player is very focused on the season with Palace. At the moment, the situation is very quiet."
