MANCHESTER UNITED fans are desperate for the club to sign Adam Wharton after realising one incredible stat.
The midfielder continues to impress for Crystal Palace this season.
He missed out on the England squad but has displayed a number of attributes to attract the attention of big six clubs.
Wharton, 21, has impressed with his passing and according to Jack Grealish he should have been named man of the match in Everton’s win over Palace on Sunday.
But now another stat has come to light which shows another of Wharton’s strengths – dribbling.
The youngster has completed every single take on he has attempted in the Premier League this season.
Fans are impressed by the stat, not least United supporters who are keen for the Red Devils to bring him to the club.
One reacted to the stat saying: “Not surprised, he can see things others can’t.”
Another added: “If we get this lad in January, it is over! See you in May.”
A third wrote: “He’s exactly the player Utd is missing in midfield. Wharton and Anderson should both be signed.”
And another commented: “Him and Elliot Anderson would totally change the dynamics at United.”
Wharton has long been on the radar of United, Manchester City and Liverpool.
But in recent months he has also begun to attract attention from Real Madrid, with Xabi Alonso interested in signing a deep-lying playmaker.
