Man United remain interested in Carlos Baleba Carlos Baleba in action for Brighton (Photo by Mike Hewitt/Getty Images) He is an athletic midfielder who can contribute in defensive as well as attacking positions as he helps the team build up attacks and provides strength and security in front of the defense."
"Baleba is the ideal profile that Man United are currently looking for, a dynamic, modern midfielder capable of covering ground, breaking lines with carries and offering defensive security. However, the Seagulls' firm stance and the financial implications mean United are unlikely to pursue the deal further this month, instead keeping him on their shortlist for future windows. As a result, United are continuing to assess several alternative targets across Europe and the Premier League."
Manchester United have made an initial enquiry into signing Carlos Baleba from Brighton as part of long-term midfield planning. No immediate January breakthrough is expected because Brighton are reluctant to sell before summer and would only consider offers exceeding 100 million. Baleba is an athletic, highly rated young midfielder who contributes in both defensive and attacking phases, helping build attacks and providing protection in front of the defense. United view him as an ideal modern midfield profile but will likely defer pursuit this month and continue evaluating alternative targets such as Elliot Anderson.
