According to the Manchester Evening News, Manchester United is interested in Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Walton and can provide Menu and Zirkzee in exchange.

It is reported that Manchester United is interested in Crystal Palace's 21-year-old midfielder Walton. During the summer window, Manchester United was interested in Baleba but was forced to withdraw by the high asking price. Amorim believes that Manchester United's midfield position needs improvement, and Walton is considered to be very suitable for Manchester United.

According to reports, Manchester United is willing to pay 60 million pounds to sign Walton, but this amount is not enough to meet Crystal Palace's asking price. Crystal Palace values ​​Walton at approximately £150 million, and the contract between the two parties expires in 2029, so Crystal Palace holds the dominant position in the negotiations.

Menu currently has insufficient playing opportunities. He is likely to seek a transfer in the winter window. He hopes to get more game time to ensure that he is selected for next year's World Cup roster. Crystal Palace wants Manchester United to swap Menu plus cash for Walton.

Another player that Manchester United can exchange is Zirkzee. According to reports, Zirkzee also expressed to Manchester United that he hopes to leave the team in the winter window. He also hopes to ensure that he can participate in next year's World Cup.

Zirkzee and Menu may constitute a reasonable deal in exchange for Walton. However, if only one of the players is available, Crystal Palace will also ask Manchester United to add cash.

Zirkzee is currently worth 30 million euros, and his contract with Manchester United will expire in 2029; Menu is currently worth 50 million euros, and his contract with Manchester United will expire in 2027.
