Manchester United have reportedly decided not to move ahead with a move for Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba in the summer transfer window. The Red Devils have been holding talks with the south

Fabian Hurzeler says he’s “very, very, very confident” that Carlos Baleba will remain a Brighton player this season. The 21-year-old has been the subject of interest from Manchester United, with reports stating that an opening player plus cash bid was rejected by Brighton.

United are now looking at a new central midfielder after bolstering their forward line through the additions of Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Šeško, and it was revealed earlier this month that an ambitious move for 21-year-old Baleba is under consideration.
