Adam Wharton's three-word response to fan claiming he's better than Kobbie Mainoo speaks volumes

Adam Wharton had a priceless three-word response when a fan claimed he's better than Kobbie Mainoo following Crystal Palace's stunning victory over Manchester United.

Palace smashed Man United at Selhurst Park on Monday as they ran out four-nil winners to secure a first-ever league double.

Jean-Philippe Mateta was among the goal scorers as he registered a stat no other player in the Premier League has achieved in 27 years.

Even though he didn't get on the score-sheet, Wharton grabbed the headlines following his dazzling display in the middle of the park against fellow countryman Mainoo.

He shone in the engine room of the pitch as fans on social media called for him to be included in Gareth Southgate's England squad for Euro 2024.

And after the match, the 20-year-old responded to a fan saying he's better than the Red Devils starlet and should go to the Euros.

The supporter said: "Better than Mainoo... you should go Euro," to which the Palace midfielder replied: "Yeah, I know..."

Wharton, who joined from Blackburn Rovers during this year's January transfer window, has played 13 league games since signing for the Premier League outfit.

Following his recent showings for Palace, there has been talks whether the £18 million man should be featured in Southgate's England party for this summer's competition.

Speaking before Wharton's performance against Man United, Oliver Glasner shared his thoughts on whether the youngster should go to Germany.

"He has stepped up so quickly and adapted to Premier League football and the intensity, the speed of the game," he explained.

"His decision-making, his pre-orientation and his solutions with one or two touches are amazing.

"But also, we have to stay calm. I always wish the best for my players and the more successful, the more international games the better it is because everybody wants to play for his home country.

"But it was in March for the international break he was nominated for the U20 squad, not for the U21s. He was then in the second game, and he played just some minutes as he was a substitute.

"I don’t know if it’s the right moment now to talk about the Euros, but he will have a fantastic career. Because, again, he’s a very good guy and an excellent football player."
