Adam Wharton impresses with his exceptional passing skills as stats reveal he outshines Manchester United players.

Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton showcased his passing prowess in the 2-1 victory over Fulham, catching the attention of Manchester United amidst their interest in him – TEAMtalk has analyzed his stats compared to some Red Devils.

Wharton produced a highlights reel of impressive passes during the match. For the opening goal, Wharton demonstrated exceptional range.

On the first goal, Wharton played a precise pass to the left wing, and when it returned to him, he delivered a quick ball to Eddie Nketiah, who comfortably scored.

This was Wharton’s third assist of the season, but his contributions extend well beyond just goals. He actively transitioned the play from defense to attack, completing 40 passes with only two misplaced, achieving a 95% accuracy rate.

Late in the game, he delivered a corner to Yeremy Pino at the edge of the box, which led to another goal from a deflected shot taken by Pino himself.

According to SofaScore, Wharton averages 1.5 key passes per game in the Premier League this season.

At United, he would likely take Casemiro's position, surpassing the Brazilian in this metric, with only Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo outperforming Wharton at the club.

Wharton also averages 2.4 long balls per match, again outperforming Casemiro, with Fernandes being one of only two United players doing better than Wharton – indicating a potential strong partnership in midfield.

Whorton has created more big chances than any United player this season, with six, compared to Amad's four and Fernandes and Mbeumo's three.

With performances like these, Wharton is firmly on United's radar.

Is there chance of a January Wharton transfer?

TEAMtalk has consistently reported on United's interest in Wharton, along with other notable Premier League midfielders.

There are concerns that United's midfield is appearing increasingly vulnerable.

The acquisition of Wharton in January could alleviate some of these issues.

However, sources have indicated that he is off limits for now, alongside Elliot Anderson and Carlos Baleba.

Both English midfielders could see their market values soar should they perform well in the upcoming World Cup.
