Manchester United need a solution to their midfield problems, with Ruben Amorim aiming to sign a Premier League proven player.
The club was heavily linked to Brighton's Carlos Baleba in the summer, but a move was ruled out for the Cameroonian.
United have also been linked to Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest and Adam Wharton from Crystal Palace.
A new report from talkSPORT has suggested that Wharton wants Champions League football, according to Crystal Palace's co-owner Steve Parish.

Parish said, "I think Adam at some point will want to play either in the Champions League with us, if we can make that happen, or probably with another club.
"He's an extraordinary talent. I think right now, and I can't speak for Adam, but I think he's focused on his time at Crystal Palace."
Wharton has been a key player for Palace, with the midfielder turning into one of best midfielders in the Premier League.
Parish continued, "He had a broken season last season with the groin issues that he had that a lot of young players get.
"I think this season he's completely focused on putting the games in, getting in the England squad, being a regular for us, and making sure that he can show that Saturday, Sunday, Thursday, Sunday. It's a difficult program for us right now."
The Palace co-owner also commented on the supposed bid that United are planning, saying, "If Manchester United want Adam Wharton, that's nothing surprising really about that.
"The fact of the matter is he's got a long contract to run. There's no pressure on us to do it, and I don't think there's any real pressure from the player either."
