United Told They Can Sign “Fantastic” Midfielder For £40M And “He’s Better” Than Bruno Fernandes

Ex-Manchester United defender Paul Parker says his former club should consider making a move for Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton.

Speaking to mybettingsites.co.uk, Parker claimed that the 20-year-old is a better passer than current club captain Bruno Fernandes:

“His range of passing is fantastic. He very rarely gives it away. He’s always positive with his passing as well. Very, very positive. I think he’s got a long range. His longer range of passing is good.”

“Brᴜno’ѕ іѕ good, Ьᴜt і tһіnk һe’ѕ Ьetter. һe doeѕn’t gіʋe tһe Ьаll аwау аѕ cһeарlу аѕ Ьrᴜno. Ьᴜt уoᴜ һаʋe to ѕау іf ѕoмeone doeѕ coмe іn, і ѕee tһeм ѕellіng for £40м or £50м аnd аfter one ѕeаѕon. і tһіnk eʋerу crуѕtаl раlаce fаn wіll һаʋe to ѕау tһаt’ѕ greаt Ьᴜѕіneѕѕ.”

Wharton is a highly regarded young player

Palace saw off a lot of competition to sign the midfielder from Blackburn Rovers for an initial £18m during the January transfer window.

Fernandes’s future at United is up in the air

While some may dismiss Parker’s comparison between Wharton and Fernandes, it must be pointed out that Erik ten Hag’s side may need a replacement for the Portuguese international soon
