United could make a transfer move for Ederson or Wharton on one condition

Manchester United are attempting to rebuild their squad ahead of the crucial 2025-26 season.

Matheus Cunha has moved to Old Trafford from Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Man United are closing in on the signing of Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford.

Recruiting a marquee striker could be their next aim as they try to overhaul their attack.

According to ESPN, there might be headroom to move for a midfielder like Atalanta’s Ederson or Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton if United can boost their budget with incoming transfer fees.

The Red Devils have deemed Marcus Rashford, Antony and Jadon Sancho surplus to requirements.

Tyrell Malacia is also expected to be shown the door after an underwhelming loan stint at PSV Eindhoven.

While Amorim sees midfield reinforcement as important, strengthening the attack is believed to be the club’s top transfer priority.

Wharton would represent an exciting long-term investment, having already displayed remarkable maturity and tactical intelligence in his short Premier League career.

His calmness in possession and ability to dictate tempo defy his age and hint at elite-level potential.

However, Palace will likely demand a premium fee to part ways with one of the best talents in the English top flight.

The same could be said about Atalanta’s star Ederson.

He has impressed with his performances in Serie A and European football, catching the eye of several top clubs.

Signing either midfielder will remain a dream until United can seal permanent transfers for their out-of-favour stars.

Rashford and Sancho are on staggering wages with no club willing to match their salary demands.

In the worst case scenario, United could be forced to accept loan deals for the English duo.
