Manchester United's midfield reconstruction is reportedly nearing completion, with the club now targeting Brighton's Carlos Baleba as a potential third signing. According to multiple reports, United have already secured Andrey Santos from Chelsea and Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa, and are now looking to add Baleba to their ranks.
The pursuit of Baleba, a 22-year-old Cameroonian midfielder, has been described as a 'will-they, won't-they' saga. United are said to be keen on adding another defensive-minded midfielder to provide depth and competition. However, Brighton are known for demanding high fees for their key players, and it remains to be seen if a deal can be reached.
As of now, no official bid has been confirmed, and talks are believed to be in early stages. United's manager has emphasized the need for a strong squad to compete on multiple fronts, and Baleba is seen as a player who could fit that profile.
Neither club has commented publicly on the speculation. The transfer window remains open, and United fans will be watching closely to see if this move materializes.
