Adam Wharton’s Agent Could Unlock £70m Move to Man United, Says Andy Mitten

Manchester United have been linked with Adam Wharton ahead of the summer window. Andy Mitten says the player’s agent could ease a move to Old Trafford.

Interest and context

Reports name Wharton as one of three top targets for United’s midfield rebuild. Ineos want an ideal partner for Kobbie Mainoo and see Wharton as a leading candidate.

Transfer valuation and ambitions

Palace would demand about £70m for Wharton this summer. Mitten says United can offer Champions League football if Michael Carrick keeps them on track for a top-five finish.

Agent factor

Mitten provided the update on the Talk of The Devils podcast. He added that United are still monitoring Baleba but view Wharton as a more realistic option.

Adam Wharton’s agent is therefore seen as a key figure in any transfer. Wharton’s agent is James Featherstone of OmniSports, and he is based in Manchester.

Background with OmniSports

United have worked with OmniSports before through Chris Smalling. Smalling signed with OmniSports in 2017 and two years later joined Roma on loan, then moved permanently.

Possible transfer process

If United pursue Wharton, transfer chiefs would engage Featherstone and OmniSports to finalise terms. The agent link could smooth negotiations for a £70m move to Man United, says Andy Mitten.
