Manchester United<\/a> are now preparing a \u00a350m+ bid for an “unbelievable” star, who is keen on a move to Old Trafford, and they are frontrunners in the race for his signature.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n After a very disappointing start to the new campaign, Man United legend Paul Scholes<\/a> has questioned the decision to deploy Bruno Fernandes in an unfavoured position, saying: “There\u2019s too much indecision in the midfield area, you think of Casemiro. He\u2019s been a brilliant player, but we know his deficiencies, don\u2019t we?”<\/em><\/p>\n “Fernandes [and Casemiro], they\u2019re the two he\u2019s [Amorim] going with, and Fernandes for me, he\u2019s someone who fills in as a midfielder, he might get away with it for one, two or three games. He\u2019s not got the discipline to be a central midfield player.”<\/em><\/p>\n Given that Fernandes has been one of United’s best players for quite some time, chipping in with 19 Premier League<\/a> goal contributions last season, there is a feeling the 30-year-old is being shoehorned into the starting XI.<\/p>\n However, despite scraping a 3-2 victory against Burnley, Ruben Amorim<\/a>‘s play-style clearly isn’t working, meaning the 40-year-old may need to bring in a central midfielder who is better suited to his system in January.<\/p>\n According to a report from TEAMtalk, Man United are now preparing a \u00a350m+ bid for Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton<\/a>, who is eager to embark on a new challenge at an elite club, meaning he is keen on a move to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n United have identified Wharton as a key target for the January transfer window, having also expressed interest in the summer, but Oliver Glasner blocked an exit, given that Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi were also attracting widespread interest.<\/p>\n The 21-year-old has been identified as a long-term replacement for Casemiro, but there could be competition for his signature, with Chelsea said to be frontrunners alongside the Red Devils.<\/p>\n Man United need to bring in a midfielder suited to Amorim’s style of play, and the Palace star fits the bill in that regard, having flourished under Glasner’s 3-4-2-1 system.<\/p>\n\n Man Utd’s midfield called into question by Scholes<\/strong>
