Yeah, I think with Wilcox coming in and his experiences at Southampton (as well as City young loan players/sales to Champ clubs etc prior to that), the club might be more open. Been linked with Hackney at Middlesbrough. Looked good 1st leg against Chelsea, but I'm not sure how much of a value-add he'd be overall -maybe regular EFL watchers can comment more. I saw Wharton play a couple of times for Blackburn and for the mooted price, thought he was someone we should be in for at least as a squad player, unless club had real confidence about u18s/u23s ready to step up. Better technically and in football smarts than McT, even at 20, and more mobile than most of the United midfield. There are normally 2-3 Championship players with properly visible potential, even if they don't all become Bellingham. Also been linked with Gray at Leeds, as a kind of proto-Lahm (fll-back to DM), if they don't get promoted but the issue might be genuine club attachment and rivalry towards United
