Adam Wharton: The ideal midfielder for Manchester United, playing in the style of Carrick
Adam Wharton, the young midfielder of Crystal Palace, has attracted the attention of Manchester United thanks to his intelligent and composed style of play.
Before joining Palace, Wharton made a strong impression at Blackburn Rovers with his exceptional ball-control and accurate passing. His former coach at Blackburn, Mike Sheron, recalled: “Adam has the ability to control the game and make the right decisions. He never loses the ball and always chooses the appropriate pass.”
Growing through the youth academy at Blackburn, Wharton is distinguished by his calm demeanour and smart game reading. Sheron described him as a player who influences the match without needing to speak much.
“He has an internal confidence, not loud but always knows how to lead the team,” Sheron shared. Wharton is the kind of defensive midfielder who can undertake this role in any lineup, from a double pivot to a single holding midfielder in a possession-oriented side.
Although Crystal Palace are not participating in the Champions League, Sheron believes Wharton could develop very well at a big club like Manchester United.
“Adam has the ability to control the game, always makes correct decisions and never loses the ball. He is like Michael Carrick — intelligent and calm — and this will be very useful for Manchester United,” Sheron added.
With his significant progress of late, Wharton could be the ideal addition for Manchester United, especially at a time when they are searching for a quality defensive midfielder for the future.
