It's suggested today United will prioritise Palace midfielder Wharton's signing in 2026, rating the England international at £60m.
But on talkSPORT today, Parish said: “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.”
Parish also 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.
“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 programme for us right now.
“I think he's very committed to the club. I don't know where all this stuff comes from."
