Manchester United s midfield overhaul! Amorim offers 60 million to Premier League star Menu to leave the team

On October 12, according to the "Daily Star" report, the Red Devils Manchester United hope to strengthen the team's midfield strength in the winter window, and they have targeted Crystal Palace star Adam Walton. Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has become a huge fan of the player after continuing to monitor his performances. Manchester United plans to spend 60 million pounds to introduce Adam Walton, and the club's executives believe that this offer is enough to convince the Eagles to let go of the midfield playmaker.

Although Manchester United invested 200 million pounds in the transfer market this summer, they have almost zero reinforcements in the midfield position. However, Manchester United has planned to complete reinforcements in the next two transfer windows, because the performance of Amorim's midfield combination of Casemiro and Bruno Fernandez this season has been widely questioned by fans.

According to the "Daily Star" report, Amorim has been paying close attention to Walton's performance at Crystal Palace and has become a super fan of the midfielder. The Portuguese coach believes the 21-year-old talent has the technical ability to succeed at Manchester United. The report also adds that both Kobe Menu and Casemiro are expected to leave Old Trafford. The former has yet to start in the Premier League this season and may join Naples on loan in January, while the latter's contract will expire next year.

Wharton has had a remarkable rise over the past two years, becoming one of the most sought-after talents in the Premier League. The Manchester United target rose to prominence at Blackburn Rovers, from whom he moved to Crystal Palace for £18 million in February 2024. Walton quickly adapted to the Premier League and was named in Southgate's European Championship squad last year.

Under Glasner's leadership, the midfield ace grew into an indispensable core player at Crystal Palace, helping the team win the FA Cup and successfully qualify for European competitions. This summer, Manchester United chose to spend 200 million pounds to strengthen the forward line and introduced Benjamin Cescó, Brian Mbeumo and Mateusz Cunha in an attempt to solve the team's goal problem. Now, they are planning ahead to try to persuade Crystal Palace to let go of their most promising star player.

Crystal Palace have proven that they are willing to let go of top talent as long as the price is right. They sold Eze to Arsenal for £67.5m this summer, while Olise moved to Bayern Munich 12 months ago. Amorim may launch a purchase offensive for Walton in the winter window. He needs Walton to improve Manchester United's midfield strength.
